Gaumer-Gomer-Garmer Biography Archives |
Chronicling Lost Stories of Generations of Descendants of Johannes Dietrich
and Maria Elizabeth (Meinert) Gaumer Sr. of Oley and Alburtis, PA |
The Gaumer branch of our family -- also spelled Gomer and Garmer -- was formed in 1748 with the marriage of Maria Elizabeth Meinert to widower Johannes Dietrich Gaumer. From origins in Oley, Berks County, PA and Alburtis, Lehigh County, PA, they produced a dozen known children -- Mathias Gaumer (stepson), Johann "John" Gaumer, Johann "Friedrich" Gaumer, Johann "Heinrich" Gaumer, Johann "Jacob" Gaumer Sr., Johann George Gaumer, Mary Catharine Gaumer, Johann Dietrich Gaumer Jr., Maria Gertrude Meitzler, Johann "Adam" Gaumer, Elisabetha Schanckweiler and Peter Gaumer. These offspring in turn bore 40+ children, 160+ grandchildren and 600 great-grandchildren and counting. This page will lead you into a vast portfolio of biographies, forgotten stories, faces and Americana experiences, spanning the past 270 years. |

Saylor of Pennsylvania; and Olive (Korns) Porter of Iowa; as well as Jessica C. Ferguson, genealogical librarian of the State Library of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg.
