Title: Hommer family in Kettig and Koblenz, Germany
Post by: lynnd08 on Friday 08 November 13 00:36 GMT (UK)

I have been researching on my great-grandmother's line for many years.   Her father, Heinrich Hommer, immigrated to America in 1864.    Over 20 years ago, I sent for information from the archives in Koblenz and received information back on his military service and request for immigration.   

I would like to get further back on his line.  We have a letter written to him from Germany that lists siblings names. 

Thanks for any help!  It is much appreciated. 

Parents - Matthias Hommer b. 7 Oct 1803 and Maria Katherina Muller, b. 21 Apr 1805 d. 10 Aug 1859.   
Children - Katherine b. abt 1828; Matthias b. 4 Jan 1830 m. Elizabeth Dettinger, d. 12 May 1895 Weissunthurm, Rheinland; Peter b. 6 Apr 1831; Joseph b. 17 Mar 1833, lived at Bendorf by Koblenz; Lorenz b. 11 Aug 1835, lived in Koblenz; Heinrich b. 11 Mar 1839 in Koblenz, d. 19 Feb 1891 in Warren county, Iowa; and Margareht, b. 25 Nov 1843.

Hi,

you could try http://gedbas.genealogy.net/. They have a lot of Hommer in their data base, also some from Kettig, but a bit earlier than yours. Contact emails are given.

Good luck, regards Peonie
