HEMESATH-Hemsath connection?
My family came from Hannover Germany (around 1840). Their name was registered as Hemsath when they entered the US. They eventually settled in Iowa (one family in Ohio). Sometime later, they legally returned the spelling to Hemesath. I have a very detailed family tree from 1850 on. Unfortunately nothing before. I was told the name Heimsoth may also be related.
