My mother's maiden name was Margaret Lahmers. Her father,my grandfather John, was the grandson of John Lahmers (the German who settled on the Isle of man and married Margaret Fitzsimmons).Our part of the family live in Liverpool,UK. What I'm trying to find out is what part of Germany John and Jacob Lahmers came from. A few places were mentioned in a previous post but was an official record ever made of their birthplace? Strangely enough until I did some research a few years ago my mother never even knew about the German connection. Apparently neither did my grandfather!
