Lehmann from Alsace, France to Waterloo, Canada
My great-great-grandfather, LEHMANN Johannes Michael, was born 26 September 1815 in Alsace, France; he died 16 October 1891 in New Germany, Ontario. On 9 July 1841 he married KORMANN Elizabeth born 1819 in Alsace, France. Their first child LEHMANN Michael was born about 1839 in Alsace, France, their fifth child LEHMAN Francis was born 26 February in Waterloo County, Ontario. Their fourth child, LEHMANN Martin is my great grandfather and was born 14 October 1844. Martin was married twice, first to SEITZ Louise and second to my great grandmother ERLER Magdalenaborn 23 May 1858 and died 2 September 1922.
I would like to know when LEHMANN Johannes Michael and KORMANN Elizabeth, emigrated to Canada and whether LEHMANN Martin was born in Alsace or in Canada. I can deduce that they emigrated to Waterloo County sometime between 1843 and 1846. I would also like to know in what community LEHMANN Johannes Michael and KORMANN Elizabeth were born and were married. The information that I have indicates that it might be in the area of Soufflenheim and Drusenehim.
LEHMANN Johannes Michael’s parents were LEHMANN Francis Ignatius born 1779 and HUCK Catherine born 1787. LEHMANN Francis Ignatius’ parents were LEHMANN Michael born 1740 and JUNG Magdalen born 1744. HUCK Catherine’s parents were HUCK Johann and HAUSS Barbara Anna. It appears that all of them were born in Alsace, France.
I would appreciate any information on this family.
