Eichsfeld Forum

Hello. I live in the United States. I am hoping someone on this list can help me. I need to confirm that my ancestors, the Boehmes, were born in the Eichsfeld area. Katherina Boehme was born, I believe, in Wachstedt, on October 31, 1864, her brother Christ Boehme was born September 8, 1852 and her other brother Edward (Eduard) Boehme was born around 1858. Christ and Edward may have been born in Wachstedt or Heuthen. If the birth information is located, could you also include the names of their parents? Please reply in English if possible.

Thank you

Dear Ruth,
in the birth records of Heuthen I couldn´t find entries of Christian Böhme (born on September 8th, 1852) and of his brother Eduard Böhme (born about 1858). Eduard was not born in Heuthen in the range between 1855 und 1860. The surname Böhme is not common in Heuthen. This indicates that the Böhme family presumably lived in Wachstädt and not in Heuthen.
If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me. (alfons_grunenberg@yahoo.com)
