• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Since we know Johan Michael Römer came from Birkenau, it is worthwhile to see if anyone else came over from the same place. A name that stands out (because the Hartwich pastor in Frederick, whose name doesn't seem to have much to do with anyone we know in Germany) was Jacob Bernhard. Michael and Charlotta were godparents to a child of Jacob Bernhard 12 May 1755. Michael's sister Anna Elisabeth Römer married Johannes Bernhard 22 Jan 1726 in Birkenau and their oldest child was Johann Jacob Bernhard, b. in Birkenau 22 Feb 1727. Charlotta was godmother to another Bernhard child on 29 Apr 1737 in Birkenau (Scharlotta Maria) -- could Jacob have come across the ocean and joined them? He is the right age to have a child in 1755 and it would be logical for his aunt and uncle to serve as godparents.
