I am very interested in your Mell family.Just yesterday ( 10-31-03) I learned I have Mells in my tree.Apparently, Louisa Mell m. Wilhelm Foertmeyer.While I don't have a marriage date or birthdates, I am guessing based on the dob of their son Dietrich (1798) that they were born about 1760something and married in the 1790's sometime.This family lived in Hanover and their son was born in LoRum and his wife in Negenborn.Interestingly, my Foertmeyer family ended up in Cincinnati which is across the beautiful Ohio River from Campbell Co. KY.Some of the Foertmeyers lived in KY in Bellevue, KY which might be Campbell Co.There are thre counties in N. KY that border Cincinnati so I'd have to check it out.But they are all very close in proximity.I noticed that you have questions concerning the husband of the Louisa in your Mell family...maybe not a connection..but is it possible she is the same Louisa?I don't have a name for her father.Would love to compare notes with you.
