Where is it?
Built from the Ancestry GEDCOM export of 14 Nov 2026, the Scans index workbook (scans and Ancestry downloads), the check of the Miller/Bartholoma research report, and the Sherman link research. Corrections applied: David and Catherine married 20 May 1890, and Nicolaus Bartholomäus reached Walter on 25 Aug 1767. Coastlines are modern. Positions for the Volga and Black Sea villages, and the Pennsylvania and New York State points marked “place unknown”, are approximate. Henry Weber, Rosa Gohl's second husband, is left off because he isn't a direct ancestor.
