Father: Charles OHRMUNDT, b. 5 Sep 1799, East Hinter Pomerania Prussia, d. 25 Dec 1881, Dodge County Wisconsin, bur. Wanderers Rest Cemetery, Lebanon Dodge County Wisconsin
Ages of Charles and his wife and children documented on 1860 Census with August in household as a nine year old which is right on the money for his age. Charles and Wilhemina are born in Prussia despite what August reports in 1880 Census. This man also goes by Carl on land documents. . The two names are interchangeable in German society and even on FamilySearch plugging in one name will get you both. Charles is a farmer in Lebanon township in Dodge County Wisconsin in 1860. Watertown Post Office His exact birth info date and year comes from his tombstone in Dodge County Wisconsin. .This couple may have an additional child named Frederick as in 1870 in Watertown township in Jefferson County Wisconsin there is a 33 year old named Frederick Ohrmund.which would certainly put him in the age range to be a child of Charles and Wilhemina. Dodge and Jefferson County border each other and the post office of Watertown is the same , so maybe the borders changed. . Immigration for this family approx between 1845 and 1850 as Charles Jr is born in Prussia 1845/1846 and Auguste is born in Wisconsin 1850 Note that on son Charles' Carl Orhmundt is a description of where Charles the son was born in Hinter East Pomerania . This is the best identify of where this family is from. This was part of Prussia. From the History of Pomerania:“ In 1945, Poland took all Pommern East of the Oder River (Hinterpommern) as well as the area around Stettin. Hinter-Pommern was cleansed of its ethnic German population and given to Poland in 1945. The Western powers were silent on the ethnic cleansing. Stettin was renamed Szczecin. ” So any of Charles Ohrmundt's remaining German relatives were booted out and this area was given to Poland. Since the first child to be born in US was born in 1850 and another child was born in 1846 in Prussia, it can be ascertained this family came between those two dates. I can't locate them among Castlegarden records which are of course incomplete online, as they only have a sampling. [Top of document]
Mother: Dorothea Wilhelmine, b. 4 Oct 1811, Prob Pomerania Prussia, d. 21 Feb 1899, Dodge County Wisconsin, bur. Wanderers Rest Cemetery, Lebanon Dodge County Wisconsin
This woman's tombstone gives her first name as Dorothea although on the census she goes by Wilhelmina. She is buried next to her husband Carl Ohrmundt. Because on the tombstone Dorothea is listed as being born in 1811 and also Wilhemina in listed on the 1870 Census as being born in 1811, It is probably certain that they are the same woman Wilhemina Dorothea or Dorothea Wilhemina. It is doubtful he had two wives born in the same year and there is no reason to think he was not buried with the woman named Wilhelmina who is listed as Dorothea on the tombstone. I have not been able to determine her maiden name.
