Message Board Post:
I am not related to any Christmanns (that I yet know of), but they frequently pop up as marriage witnesses or baptism sponsors in the church records of my ancestors. This is especially true in the towns of Feilbingert and Ebernburg and Altenbamberg in the Rheinpflaz or Rheinbaiern region of Germany (not to far west and a little south of Frankfurt).
And I see that some Christmanns also emigrated to Buffalo, NY. I don' t know if the Christmanns that I'm finding in Buffalo in the 1850s (see below) are from any of the three towns above. But I'm curious about it. For example, I find this marriage record at St. Peters German Evangelical Church in Buffalo, NY in the 1850s:
Heinrich Christmann aus Rheinbaiern mit Eva Margar. Goetz [it looks like "of Tuttlingen (Wurtemb.)"]. Witnesses: Johann Christmann and Matthaeus G.....?
(The printout of this page sent to me is too dark on the edges for me to determine dates; but I'm fairly certain it's around 1855.)
