hello.   have we discussed the Wittmanns?   I just saw your post from april and wondered if i had replied.   I have done a lot of research into the Wittmanns and don't think my John Wittmann was in Pontefract in 1881.  have we already discussed this?  sorry my technology powers are not good . . . .

 Hi there yes its not the same Wittman  Wightman or whiteman, but thanks for keeping us in mind.
We are stuck on the German connection still but found his German born wife  Mary Zorb he met in the UK  and married there.
 But both were born in Germany but not sure where. Thanks for thinking of us.

Hi
I drove through the Hohenloe region earlier this summer as part of my holiday in Germany. It was very beautiful and we both wished we had planned more than one one night there. We stayed in Bad Mergentheim, near where my Great grandfather came from and also went to Kirchberg where my great grandmother (a Wittmann) came from. I'm really glad we went,although I didn't find out anything with regards to records etc, it was very worthwhile and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Hi, I'm new to this site,I came across it by chance and have found it very informative.I was particularly interested in the post by Meerzhunters as I am researching my husband's family tree and he is also a descendent of John Louis William Schwab from Kunzelsau who came to live in Wakefield.I would be very interested in any information he found about our German ancesters.Coincidently my daughter now lives in Germany not too far from the area her ancesters came from!

Hello Schwabsearcher, I can send you the archive entry of your Schwab forefather in Künzelsau. Just send me your E-Mail address in a personal message.
Best wishes
