Hi,
By some random chance I happened upon your post, the strangest thing is my mom whom is dying of cancer just recently gave me family documents showing the name Amanu and especial IBA in Brooklynn, and Baumann , so it may just be that they are common names but they are from the 1880 time frame and very hard to locate information.... also the name Elisabeth . Feel free to contact me at any time who knows maybe we are looking up the same people? The name what I think sais Anna Santina Baumann, or Christina Santina Baumann and George Baumann are together on one document, with Christina Amanu and the documents are in German I had to translate them but the names are clear, although I am wondering now if the name is Sabine instead of Santina, it is hard to read. Hoping to compare notes. Thanks so much.
