Amy,

I, too, am descended from Wilhelmine Dorothea Framm. My branch is by her third (I think) husband, Andreas August Schneider.

According to our family lore, Wilhelmine was a character! You, apparently, are descended from her first "husband" (The family rumor is that she was never married to him!) Mr. Stabeno (don't know first name). They had a son named Louis Frederick Stabeno (born Feb 15, 1859, died April 1944) Is this your grandfather or great grandfather?

Her second husband was Christian Kort (b. Mar 10, 1826, d. Oct 28, 1871), and they had 6 children. Her 4th husband was Gottlieb Brachwitz and they had one daughter, Caroline Christian Brachwitz.

My mother says Wilhelmine had two husbands named Schneider and she is searching her records for information on that marriage.

I see that you posted your message in 1999. I hope you are still researching the family and would be willing to share information. I will happy to send you all I have on Wilhelmine.

Karen
