BACHMAN(N) Germany to Illinois in 1866

[Scottorino]

Dear fellow Bachman researchers,

To those of you not interested in the Bachman name, my sincere apologies
for bothering you. I got your name from a search of AOL members in an
effort to try to identify the names of my gg grandparents.

I am searching for information regarding Adam Heinrich Bachman and his
parents, George Bachman and Moklin Sputh. Does anyone have any
information about Adam, George and Moklin?

I actually have a photo taken in the 1800s of German farmers standing next
to oxen which says on the back, "Bachman family in Germany." I do not
have any of the names of the people in the photo.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. If a more complete
listing of the descendants of George Bachman will help your research,
please email me.

to the Advertiser recently the following information on the Bachman and
Kolb families: George Bachman died in Germany in 1860. His widow was the
former Moklin Sputh. A son, Adam H. Bachman, who was born Nov 8, 1845 in

kept and good producing farms and a lot of real estate in the towns of
Salem, Matoon, Oakland and East St. Louis. His real estate holdings
amounted were said to have amounted to as much as his farms. The couple

Greetings! I am not part of the Bachman family, but I do have great interest in the history of the family. My husband and I purchased the home built by Charles and Naomi Bachman, in Salem IL last year. It is on the historical register. It is right next door to the A H Bachman Victorian style home. I am researching the history of the homes and the families.

Hello: My name is Timothy George Bachmann. My father was Michael Fredric Bachmann. My uncle is John Bachmann. My grandparents were George Adam Bachmann and Helen Isabel Johnston. My great grandparents were Charles Friedrich Bachmann and Naomi Chamberlain and William R. Johnston and Carolyn Robson Johnston. I believe their parents were Adam Heinrich Bachmann & Marianna Altguir Smith - Oscar W. Chamberlain and Grace Macomber Chamberlain & John Johnston and Martha ? & Nicholas Robson and Isabell Robson. I believe the parents of Adam Heinrich Bachmann were likely George Bachmann and Mocklin Sputh. I can be reached at pluml...@gmail.com. I remember visiting the Charles and Naomi Bachmann house in Salem as a kid.

My email is simple...@gmail.com and I am eager to learn about the Bachmann family. Sadly, I learned that Charles Bachmann committed suicide in this house in 967 and I have not been able to find any research as to why.
