I tried to e-mail Valerie and it returned to me, so will post this.
These are how my Ancestors descend........
Carl/Charles Ludwig Baum, 1743-1817, his son....
Michael Eustace Baum, 1772-1875, his son....
Benjamin Baum, 1811-1866, his son....
Michael Baum, 1834- 1907, his son....
Charles Calvin Baum, 1867-1930, his daughter...
Elizabeth Carol Baum Wood, 1907--- My Mother.
I was in Wapello County, Iowa, yesterday, researching the Baums, at the Court House, but didn't accomplish much, as the Genealogical Society had most of the old probate records somewhere else, putting them on microfilm
If anyone would like to compare or exchange Baum info, please e-mail me direct, or post on this message board.
