Everything I have points me to Luxembourg but I believe they were German speaking and perhaps culturally German.Debby's Family Genealogy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230444399622755142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-81055134355963354762017-09-17T20:58:06.865-07:002017-09-17T20:58:06.865-07:00My great-great grandmother was Dora Hamman, (1876-... My great-great grandmother was Dora Hamman, (1876-1914 abouts), and she was the daughter of Carl Hamman (1844-1915)and Theresa Seils (1850-1880) I wonder if they are related. I am just now attempting to figure out the sibling lines to my ancestors. I do not know Carl Hamman's parents names. The best I can tell he was born in Germany. I don't know Carl Hamman's sibling or cousin lines either.

I thought it interesting that Kate's page did have a signature. Hope to one day get to Remsen, Iowa and check out what I can in person.Debby's Family Genealogy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230444399622755142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-36343133543664018942017-08-22T00:19:27.497-07:002017-08-22T00:19:27.497-07:00Debby, thank you for the mention. Facebook groups ...Debby, thank you for the mention. Facebook groups are a good place to find people who can point you in the right direction. However, as I read your post I realized the person who is trying to help may not see the "big picture" when you are making your query. I did not realize the will you found was typewritten and in a register. This is only a copy of Kate's will and the signature is likely a facsimile. The clue is the Certificate of Probate which includes (((Seal))). This tells me it is not the original. If the source is still available to you, check to see the dates on the wills prior to hers and the probate date. Look at the signatures on the wills. They may look alike or the person may have tried to copy the signature on the original document.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
