Here’s a look at the village my Laemmlen ancestors came from. Leonhard Heinrich Laemmlen, my 2nd great-grandfather was born here in 1836. He was a master tinner. On 27 January 1862 he married Maria Magdalene Justine Schelle from Biberach in Biberach. Four years later, he died at age 31 in Grossgartach. His wife and their 3 children, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm, Marie Katharine Louise and Herman Albert remained in Grossgartach, where our relatives live to this day.
