Request from Germany- Wittbold surname
Posted: 01/16/2019 - 10:59 am
Hello!
I am Henning Wittboldt-Mueller in Verden, Lower Saxony in Germany, and I am looking for descendants of Johann Heinrich Wittbold, born 21st of Oct. 1934 in Klein Heidorn, Wunstorf, Lower Saxony. He emigrated to the US in 1853 / 1858 and perhaps he is identical with Henry Wittbold (+1913) in Comfort, Kendall County, Texas? His sister Charlotte Wittbold emigrated in 1858. Now I try to find descendants of Henry Wittbold, Texas, to proof, if he is really Johann Heinrich Wittbold, grandson of my 5x-grand-greatfather Johann Hinrich Christoph Wittbold in Poggenhagen (+1808).
 
Please can you help me?
 
Best wishes

Look at the links of the children and if you are lucky you will find an obituary which would often mention surviving relatives.
