I'm seeking information on Joseph Ortmann, married to Anna Schweitering, living in New York/New Jersey in the late 1800's. My grandfather, William John Ortman, was one of their many children. Any help on Joseph's ancestors will be welcome, but especially any kind of a place name in Germany. All I have is "Pommern," which really is no help at all.
Looking to connect with any descendents of Joseph because my grandfather was estranged from his many brothers and sisters, and I'd like to meet any of my second cousins! There must be many!
