Gordon Uhde was also my Great Uncle. His brother Kenneth was a my grandfather. I know a bit about the early history of the Uhde "clan" but my Uncle Rick is by far more knowledgeable than myself. Email me at kuhde1@yahoo and I can find out more.

I am five generations removed from my great-great-great grandfather, Wilhelm Johann Heinrich Uhde, watchmaker, born Goslar, Germany 23 Jan, 1820. He migrated to the USA in 1854. He had married a widow named Charlotte Wanda (nee Steinmetz) Willmaser who had two children. Together they had three more. Hermann H. was the only Uhde to carry the name. His baby sister, Carolina Wilhelmina Henrietta married and became my ancestor. Hermann had one son Herman H., JR. and a daughter. Though I know it unlikely we are related, I have to ask. Both Hermanns were watchmaker-jewlers and propietors of Wm. Uhde & Son Davenport, Iowa. Herman died 12 June, 1922, leaving Herman Jr. and Mrs. C.F. Brower. Also, mentioned in the obit. were sisters Mrs. T. Forrester of Oakland, CA and Mrs. C. von Egert of Los Angeles.
I have yet to trace Herman Jr. since he is not my direct ancestor.

I was wondering if you had any information on the Surname Willmaser. I have been having a hard time with that surname.

Thank you,

I have limited info on Willmaser. Wilhelm Uhde married a widow Willmaser, who had two children: Dorothea and Franz. Her maiden name was Charlotte Dorothea Barbara Steinmetz.

There are Willmsers in the US. Franz had children with my great aunt Marie Hartz.

The info in our family Bible indicates the Uhde/Steinmetz/Willmaser family emigrated from Marburg via Bremmen.
