The Basics...

This blog will introduce Martin Kramer, who emigrated from Germany to New York City with his sisters in 1849.  A fair amount of information has been found on his descendants in the U.S., but I have been unsuccessful thus far in finding his origins in Germany.

Martin Kramer married into the Barth family [Clara Rosina Barth, dau. of Charles Barth and Mary Elisabeth Zipp] in New York City, 1855.  I  was lucky enough to "meet", online, two cousins of this family, one of whom has done a tremendous amount of research on the Barth family back to the 1600s in Germany.  You will find this information posted by me on the WorldConnect website.

I would like to outline the info I've found so far on the Martin Kramer family, and welcome any suggestions or information as to his German antecedents.
