I'm looking for my mothers family ,her family originated from southern Germany,
I only have some names
my mother is Amelia Biedermann born 1927 DOD 4/21/2008 she is the youngest of 9
siblings.John/Louise/Marie/Elisabeth/Edward/Catherine/Walter/Robert
Her father is John Martin Biedermann born in N.Y. april 1883
John married Louise Grosdamange DOB 1889---married 1909
his mothers name is Amelia Samprechth/Lamprecht DOB 1861
grandfather-Joyhann
grandmother-Emilie (Amelia) Heiler
great grandmother Emma Ongelka--1664
great grandfather- Joseph
great grandmother Lousia Kirsch

My mom and all of her siblings have passed away. My grandparents passed when I was a baby so I
know nothing of their heritage.I do know that some of them entered the United States through Ellis
Island. I would love to know more about my family history, where in Germany they came from and how
far back we go.

I do have lots of cousins with the name Biedermann from Massachusetts that I haven't
seen in years.


The name Heiler is common in Germany and the United States, not sure if we are related
The name Amelia is also common throughout the family'
I would appreciate any information that anyone has about my family. Thank you Janice
