Hi Barb,
In fact, J.J. Niethammer (and also his wife Agathe) emigrated from Württemberg to Poland around 1780. At that time, he lived there in the Prussian administrative district of Bydgoszcz (german: „Bromberg“). The family lived as Germans in the area between Poznań and Warsaw for several generations, even when the area became part of Poland again. But after the Second World War my wife's grandparents had to flee to Germany. Part of the family finally ended up back in Württemberg. However, the origin of their ancestors from Württemberg was also surprising for my mother-in-law's family and unknown until then.
Re the death of Christina Niethammer: There is an entry in the church book of Toruń in 1831, according to which she died of "nervous fever" (typhus) at the age of 48 (44 would probably be correct). By the time of the marriage of the eldest son, on the other hand, she would already be 59 years old. Hence I suspect that when the son was married, it was forgotten to mark her as already deceased.

Regards
Torsten

Hello,
On FamilySearch, the family of Christina Niethammer has been posted for many generations. I am surprised that Christina was born in Mierucin (Mogilno), but her father Johann Jacob and all his ancestors come from Vöhringen, Sulz, Württemberg, Germany.
The distance between the places is approximately 1000 km. Christina was born in 1787 and I have never seen people move so far from the place they were born at that time.
I am looking for the death records of Christina and her husband Adam. You say that Christina died in 1831, and Adam in about 1829. The surnames of both sound German, and I would think they belong to the Evangelical Church. In the wedding record of the eldest of the children (from October 11, 1846) there is an annotation that the father is dead, while the mother is still alive.
I think the wedding record you are looking for can be found either in Mierucin where Christina was born, or in Stawki / Rudak where the children were born. I have access to something from Rudak, but not weddings.

Regards,
-Barb

Hi Torsten,
I have been looking for some connections and am missing a common thread. Can you attach the birth and death record for Christina?
