Willie Willmann was kind enough to send some pages copied from that book; it is now in libraries: Perry Castaneda I believe, Wisconsin and maybe one other in Tx; possibly Tx. Univ. library but no longer on interlibrary loan. Caroline is mentioned and her parents and how she came over with Ernst but still do not know who Ernst's father was. I am pretty sure he was illegitimate as Wilhelm allowed him to carry his name; if you or anyone heard anything please alert me to it.

Hi. Have been away from genealogy for yrs for the most part except here and there. I have no info on him; would ck the Llano Tx and Mason Tx census, not sure of the counties as the Willmann's had moved to Llano and became Methodists; they then moved to Mason when I found the Willie and Sheri Willmann by phone. Willmann's were ranchers and always were a sweet bunch my mother said. My Caroline dau of Anton Willmann and Maria Brocob (Prokop) from the book by Jordans is the mother of my ggrfa Ernst. My 1/2 cousin Carl sent copy of Wilhelm Stein's will; Ernst is his stepson. Wilhelm md.Caroline and first child by her named William.I still don't know who Ernst's father is; Ernst was born Trier as book mentions also and that Caroline was a personal servant in the Stein home to Wilhelm. Caroline came to Tx 1852 with bro Joseph Willmann and little Ernst, 3 or 4 yrs old and he is on the ship lists. I have changed my user name.

We're looking for family albums or bibles that may have been passed down from Paul and his father Joseph that could have some additional information regarding Paul's children-- specifically his son Frank. If anyone has scans or transcripts from these kinds of family books, we would love to hear from you.

I have just found out that I have a Magdelana Willman from Alsac, France married George Linck. Son George moved to Canton, Stark Co. Ohio about 1830. Does this sound like your line. Thank you.

Willmann: Hochemmingen/Klengen 1640-1854

dband131 — 2011-06-25 18:54:28Z

Thanks for looking.

Much has been learned about my ancestors in Germany during this period. Through the German archives, I have been able to find the entire family that left for America in 1854, as well as the grandparents, and have been able to get a glimpse of the small familes that inter-married in this tiny village (Klengen).

The family came from somewhere, Hochemmingen most likely, just a few miles to the East. This link is somewhat tenuous, as no direct proof can be found, the records are not available on microfilm readily.

I would welcome any documentation on Willmann persons from Klengen (Kirchdorf/Villingen) circa 1730-1850, or from Hochemmingen circa 1650-1850. I have also seen and suspect a connection to Grafenhausen during the 1600-1800 period but have no documentation.

I go back to the mid-1650's with this individual: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19273985/person/1502136792

But the last verified family member is: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19273985/person/911907433

Obviously any information however insignificant would be greatly appreciated.

A few other names of importance to me: Maria Barbara Reichmann est. 1771-1860 Offenburg, Joseph Fleig est. 1774-1860 Klengen, Joannes Engesser est. 1740-1820 Donaueschingen (Engessers were in Klengen as well), Andreas Riegger est. 1670-1850 Kirchdorf.

JaneAncestry — 2010-07-16 17:53:21Z

Do you have any info on a Maroverite Willmann who married a Phillip Knebel? They are from Oestringen, Baden. Let me know. She would probably have been born in the early 1800's, as she had a daughter, Anna Knebel, in 1846. Anna, at least, went to Michigan, but I don't know if the parents did or not. Hope to hear from you!

Re: Fredrich Pius Willmann

franceswimberly216 — 2007-06-27 03:55:24Z

Hi. Have been away from geneology for some years. Located a Willy Willmann in Mason Tx and was such a nice person. Got card from him and his wife. This was several years back; he gave me name of the book the Willmann's are in. My great grandfather was Ernst Stein, son of Caroline Willman, Ancestry has her as dau of Anton Willmann and Maria ?Brocob?; is the name Brocob of Jewish descent? I am interested in this as there are several names in the family that make me believe we are Jewish by blood. I have mainly researched my father's family and the Native American blood on that side. Did send and received the Stein line and there is a marriage with a German who is of Italian descent as her father and her last name is Pauli. Before that I got no records. The name carried by the Stein's is Johann and her first name is Johanna. usually a conversion where an Italian is involved. We are Catholic by this line. My ggrfa Ernst is son of Caroline and it shows in his father's will as sent me by a Stein descendant that William Stein, the Revolutionary Soldier of Trier who pioneered in Guadalupe Co. Tx allowed Caroline and Ernst to carry his name. He and Caroline were married in Tx and they had a lot of other children over here. I did get the Stein line going back to 1799 ca. from the Bistumsarchiv in Trier. I thought that Ancestry had the name of Caroline's mother as Broka which is Polish Jew and pronounced "broha" but they ahve it as "Brocob" and I am wondering if the same but different spelling. I am trying to find out who Ernst Stein's father was. My mother was always told that Caroline was a servant in the Stein home in Trier and that William Stein (Johann Wilhelm Laurentius Stein) left the Seminary-never took vows to the priesthood) and became a Rev. Soldier; came to Tx.; Caroline came over with her bro Josef and my mo said she also had a bro Anton and she had Ernst along and he is 4 yrs old in 1852; she came to Guadalupe Co. and they married. A "cousin" states that there was absolutely no connection with Caroline and the Stein's in Trier. Aunt Bertha told my mother that William called Ernst in on his deathbed and told him something and when Ernst left the room "looked shocked and hurt." This must have been when he learned that he was not his real son. I asked my grfa Alfred Stein and my Aunt Ella once at the dinner table years ago who Wm's father was and they must have known something as they looked at each other and one or both of them said they thought it was "Sebastian." I don't know who Ernst's father was. Many illegitimate children they say were born in Trier at the time and that the French made the Germans list all illegitimate children. I have written a Civil library and got no answer and this was about one year ago.

In the year 1867 my gr.-gr.-grandparents Friedrich/Frederick Willmann (*17.8.1834 in Gnoien) and Sophie/Lena Willmann (maiden name Rathsack, *21.11.1832 in Strohkirchen) emigrated from Gnoien in Mecklenburg/Germany to America with their three youngest children Friedrich/Frederick (*ab. 1860), Auguste(a) (*ab. 1863) and Wilhelm/William (*ab. 1866) leaving their eldest daughter (my gr.-grandmother Sophie) in Germany. The family arrived in New York on Aug. 26th,1867.

In the 1880 United States Census I have found the family (now written as “Wilman”) in Utica/Oneida County/New York with two more children: Charles (*ab. 1869 in NY) and Louisa (*ab. 1871 in NY). After that I did not find any more information in the 1890 Census or other sources about the family.

Hi, I am probably not related but I saw your message. I am Regenia Willmann-Campbell. I was born in Rockford Illinois. My dad was Eugene Robert Willmann, son of Jacob Willmann and Mary Melinda (Linda) Reynolds- Willmann. My grandfather Jacob's family is a big road block. All I know is that he is buried at St. Joseph's Cemetary Madison County Highland Illinois. Some of my relatives lived in Belleville and probably still reside there. I also have family in Peoria. My grandfather children were daughters Mary Matilda and Ida Margaret. Sons Lester and Eugene( my dad). Jacob was born 4-7-1876 and died 7-15-1954. I was a toddler when he passed away. My dad died in 1989. Well enough about me. Hope your search will be successful someday. I am still trying to gather my information.

2005-03-10 20:35:58Z

I am looking for any information on JOSEPH WILLMANN b. 1811 in Germany and his wife PAULINE (HUBER) WILLMANN b. 1812 Germany.
I found a WIELMAN family on the 1850 Bond County Illinois Census. The family is a JOSEPH, PAULINE and son MICHAEL age 10.

My grandfather MICHAEL WILLMAN/WILLMANN was born in 1840 in Baden Germany and immigrated to the U.S. in 1844-1846.

MICHAEL married a MARGRETHA/MARGARET STUMPF in 1867 in MADISON COUNTY ILLINOIS.
MICHAEL WILLMAN died in 1917 in Helvetia Township Illinois. His wife MARGARET WILLMANN died in 1922 in HIGHLAND Illinois.

I believe that the family of WIELMAN in Bond County may very well be my WILLMANN/WILLMAN family their first names, ages and place of birth are all the same.
The census indicates that JOSEPH WIELMAN was a farmer and had real estate valued at 200. How would I go about locating any land records for Bond County? I don't live anywhere near Illinois.
If this family looks familiar please feel free to contact me at bobnregi@bellatlantic.net
