Dear Marge Warmbrodt,
I am a great,great grandson of Bendicht Warmbrodt, who may have been the first Warmbrodt to come to America, in 1839.He settled in Carondelet, just south of St. Louis, and then bought an 80 acre farm in south St. Louis County in the mid 1850's.He has many descendants in the area, but there are only five male descendants with the name Warmbrodt.Bendicht also had a couple brothers that later settled in the St. Louis area.Descendants of one of them are also in the St. Louis area.Descendants of the other served in the Civil War and then moved to southeastern Kansas.There are also Warmbrodts that settled in Ohio, some of which moved to Tennessee and dropped the ending "t" from their name.Other Warmbrodts settled near Boonville, MO.
My father and two other Warmbrodts from the St. Louis area have visited Siselin, Switzerland and spoken with Ernst Warmbrodt, a farmer who was still living there.My father wrote a family history and family trees as best as he could from Warmbrodts in different areas of the country.I'm sure they are all related.One of the Warmbrodts who visited Siselin was told that the earliest Warmbrodt they have on record, in the 1500's, may have come from France and had an equivalent name in French, I think "Painchaude" or something like that, which means "breadhot."
