I am researching the Pflaum family as well- most settled in Ohio, though my ggrandfather moved his branch of the family to Pittsburgh, PA.
My earliest is Conrad Pflaum b. 1797 in Weilersburg, Bavaria, Germany and d. 1837 in St. Henry Ohio.
My genealogy info for the Pflaum line is available to read on-line at
http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/n/i/k/Erin-K-Nikitchyuk...I am in touch with a number of Pflaum researchers (6 or 7) but have yet to find a link with them. If you are a pflaum researcher and would like to be "in the loop" for sharing Pflaum research, e-mail me at
ane@bigfoot.com and I'll send a message out to the group.
I am most recently interested in:
- discovering why Conrad's Son George A. Pflaum was in Houston where he died as a young man in 1856.
- proving possible links to Pflaums in Kansas and/or South Dakota. My father met a nurse in Viet Nam named Mary Pflaum who was a spitting image of his aunt, but they could find no immediate relation. He insists there must be a link somehow
- Finding Conrad's "other" family from his first marriage, which produced Martin Pflaum (m. Maria Nessen), Jacob Pflaum, and Anna Pflaum Dummig.
