Bohm family website address update

 Hello everyone.  

Here is a link to the new 
(and improved) Bohm family history website.

http://sites.google.com/site/bohmfamilysite/

I hope you have a chance to check it out.  Over the next several weeks, I will be adding more content, including some new articles, photographs, and maps. In addition, some of the family history information has been revised in light of some recent research.  In particular, we have discovered the village in Germany where Herman Bohm grew up.  For me, this is quite exciting as I have been trying to discover its name for many years.  Interestingly, the death records of Trinity Lutheran Church in Enderlin, North Dakota, contained some rather detailed information about his birth place--Breitenstein, Kron Deutsch, Kingdom of Prussia.  The little village of Breitenstein is no longer a part of Prussia, but is now in Poland (the place changed hands after World War II) and is in the Polish province of West Pomerania. At any rate, I have incorporated this information into the essay on Herman and Ida Bohm and their coming to America at the end of the nineteenth century. 

As always, If you have any information to add to what I have done on the website, or if you would like to see some things added, please let me know.

Hello Everyone. 

Recently the Google website program has been updated and revised significantly. And although I have been able to migrate Bohm family site to that location, the process has created some minor formatting errors in website layout.  At present, I am working to update the site and to improve it using some of the new Google features.  In the meanwhile, you can still access the old content--which remains unchanged.

The price of "progress," I guess....

I have posted new information on the Bohm Family website.  In addition to updating information about the family patriarch, Herman Bohm, you will find:

1. A new page called "The Opheims of Enderlin: To 1947." It is a basic narrative about Nikolaus Opheim and Konstanse Skog, their Norwegian backgrounds, their voyage from Norway via England to the United States, and their lives in North Dakota up until Nick's death in 1947.

2. Some early Bohm family photographs.

During the next few weeks I will be adding more material.

I would very much appreciate any comments and/or suggestions about the material I have posted.
