Bill’s Family: Ancestors of Donald Hawley |
||
| These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further. | HOME | |

52. Unknown Hannamann was born probably sometime around 1800, probably in Germany or Alsace-Lorraine. We don’t know the name of his wife.
We don’t know anything at all about these ancestors, and my genealogy should properly start with [26] Lawrence Hannamann. I have included this page because we know some of the descendants of Lawrence’s sister Margarethe.
There were two children that we know of:
52.1. Margarethe Hannamann had descendants and is listed below.

1909. She married about 1852, Peter Messerer. They were married on board the
ship traveling to America. Peter was born 11 Feb 1825 in Germany, and died 12 Apr 1886 probably in Iowa.
