Eric,
Thanks v. much for the Bavarian information. Have you any source references to share re. your findings ?
Have you found any references to Bau or the spelling Baua - the V being used for U ?
I have often found the Bau spelling in French documents for all references to Bavaria.
In your family history, have you any information on the Bayers from Baden-Baden one of whom migrateddirectly to Missouri in ~1830 ? He was of the petit aristocracy. Maternal lineages in the US and Baden-Baden were Kirchner and Schweiss, [Anastasia ?]
