Judaism focuses on the relationship between husband and wife to fulfill spiritual and practical obligations, and allows divorce through a formal process of granting a "get" document. In reality, while religion influences behaviors, differences in religious affiliation may not necessarily lead to differences in rates of single parenthood or divorce

Attitudes towards aging in different culturesChris Kokkola
The document discusses attitudes toward aging in China, South Africa, and the US. In China, traditional Confucian culture respects elders, but modernization is weakening filial piety as youth gain independence. In South Africa, rural elders contribute to households and are respected, but urbanization, poverty, and abuse are challenging elder treatment.

Thinkers or Junkers? Germans in England 1860-1920 & Beyond by Anne Hill FernieAlex Dunedin
Anne Fernie gives a history of Germans in England between 1860 and 1920 which is much forgotten: 2017 has seen the sharp decline in UK German studies at all levels. A 13.2 drop at GCSE level, similar at ‘A’ level and undergraduates reading German has almost halved since 1997. It would appear ironic that in an age where Europe has never been closer geographically, our real sense of closeness to it culturally & emotionally widens.
As a result of this and continued media stereotyping of the ‘bad’ or ‘threatening’ German, many British are unaware of the completely different reputation that ‘our cultural cousins’ had before the onset of WW1 as a nation of ‘poets and thinkers’. Germans of all professions flocked to Britain from the 1860s onwards, becoming one of the largest immigrant groups and contributing immeasurably to British culture and communities of the time.

2) While neither family currently holds a throne, the heads of the families work to preserve their family histories through websites and cultural projects. They do not deny the role their ancestors played in the outbreak of World War 1 but do not express explicit regret.
3) The families have continued on through the generations and work to maintain their family names and histories, though they realize restoration of their thrones is unrealistic. They see themselves as stewards of their family legacies rather than future monarchs.

While the Austrian branch continued, the Spanish Habsburgs died out in 1700 after King Charles II's death. Inbreeding over many generations weakened the Spanish branch and contributed to their extinction, as Spain declined in the late 17th century during economic troubles and wars.

This document provides a summary of the early relationship between England and Spain under Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century. It describes how Philip II of Spain sought to maintain Catholic control over England through marriage to Elizabeth. However, Elizabeth established England as a Protestant nation to unite her people while gaining time for the country to recover from religious turmoil. She pursued a policy of aiding England's allies like the Dutch rebels against Spain's growing power. This set England on a path towards an inevitable conflict with Catholic Spain that would establish it as a major power in opposition to Spanish domination of Europe.

Washington Irving was an American author who lived from 1783 to 1859. He was born in New York City and showed early literary promise. Some of his most famous works included A History of New York, The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon which included the short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." These stories contained distinctly American settings and characters. After traveling and living in Europe for many years, Irving returned to America in 1832 and lived the rest of his life in his home called Sunnyside in Tarrytown, New York, where he died in 1859.

This document provides context and details surrounding the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, also known as the Battle of the Nations. It describes Napoleon's strategic considerations and decision to renew his advance toward Berlin in April 1813 despite setbacks, hoping to defeat the Austrian army and draw Prussian and Russian forces north. The document also notes the situation in late April after a French defeat at Kulm, with the Allied armies positioned south and west of Berlin and the French marching east. Napoleon hoped to relieve pressure on the French forces in Berlin and take a central position against the three Allied armies.
Francis Daniel Pastorius was a highly educated German aristocrat who founded Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1683. He studied at four universities in Germany, becoming fluent in many languages.

2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The following information is taken from “The
Grahmanns From Ankum,” published in 1999
and written by Brother James Nicholas
Grahmann. Brother Nick did virtually all of the
research, to develop the Grahmann family
history both in the United States and in
Germany, with some assistance from both
American and German cousins. Most of the
information comes from church records from St.
Nikolaus Catholic Church in Ankum, or churches
in surrounding villages.

11. FIRST GENERATION
Johan Hermann Gramann
was born in Ankum in 1733 and
died there in 1806 at the age of
73.
His first wife was Luzia
Adelheid Bange, who was
born in Ankum in 1737. They
married in Ankum in 1759 had
six children. Luzia died in
Ankum in 1789.
Johan married again in Ankum
in 1791. His second wife was
Anna Marie Schroeder. They
had one child. Information about
her birth and death is not
legible in the church record.
1733 - 1806
×

×
When Johan Gramann was born,
there was no Texas, no United States.
He may have heard about the
American revolution and the French
revolution in 1789, but it would have
meant little to him.
Life on the farm was essentially
subsistence living and it is likely that
Johan was a peasant who did not
own his own land, and he probably
could not read or write.
It is interesting to note that the Sisters
of the Incarnate Word and Blessed
Sacrament and the Brothers of the
Christian Schools were founded in
France in the 1700’s, and would have
a profound impact on education in
Europe and America; and Johan’s
distant descendants would be
members of both organizations
12. SECOND GENERATION
Johann Bernhard
Gramann was born in
Ankum in 1771 and died
there in 1804 at the age of
33, two years before his
father.
He married Elisabeth
Kölker in Ankum in 1795,
and they had 4 children.
She was born in Ankum in
1769. She did not remarry
and raised the children by
herself. She died in Ankum
in 1826.
During Johann Bernhard’s short
life, work on the farm was still
primarily manual labor with teams
of oxen and some rudimentary
plows.
The American revolution ended
and the United States was
established. The Louisiana
purchase was made in 1803.
Germany was not a country but a
collection of associated states,
with Prussia being the largest.
Community life would have
centered around St. Nikolaus
church in Ankum, which had been
in existence many centuries.
13. THIRD GENERATION
Hermann Heinrich Gramann was
born in Ankum in 1803 and died in
Rüssel in1870 at the age of 67.
He married Anna Maria Gertrud
Wellmann in Ankum in 1829, and
they had four children. She was
born in Rüssel in1803 and died
there in1867 at the age of 64.
Hermann Heinrich was also a farmer
in Ankum. He may have been aware
of the Texas revolution and was likely
aware of the American civil war.
He would have seen profound
changes in Germany as the various
states became a country near the
end of the 19th century.
The Industrial Revolution was
sweeping Europe and waves of
immigrants began to leave Germany
and much of Europe for America.
Hermann Heinrich did not live to see
his son emigrate to America in 1884,
but I am sure he knew it was a
possibility, since many neighbors had
left and wrote of the great life they
found in America
14. FOURTH GENERATION
Hermann Friedrich Anton
Grahmann was born in Ankum in
1843 and died in Hallettsville,
Texas, in 1925 three days after he
turned 82.
His first wife, Maria Bernardina
Hülefeld, was born in Rüssel in
1855. They married in Ankum in
1875, and they had six children in
Germany. They migrated to Texas in
1884. She died delivering her
seventh child in Hallettsville in
October 1885.
He married her younger sister,
Maria Wilhelmina, who was born in
Rüssel in 1866 and was 19 when
they married in 1886. They had 13
children. She died in 1946 at the
Hermann FA Grahmann emigrated to
America in August 1884. He was influenced
by his wife’s family who emigrated in 1882
and wrote letters about how easy it was to
find and own land. The family took a
steamboat from Bremerhaven Germany and
landed in Galveston – October 2, 1884 (129
years ago).
From Galveston, they traveled by ferry to Pt.
Lavaca and then by rented wagon to Lavaca
county.
They were able to buy land next to the
Hulefelds and immediately start building a
house and barns. They bought cattle, mules,
chickens and farm equipment to prepare for
the 1885 planting season.
Hermann became an American citizen in
1891
He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic
Church in Hallettsville
15. FOURTH GENERATION
HERMANN F. A. GRAHMANN’S MISSING BROTHER
Bernhard Heinrich Grahmann:
was born in Rüssel in 1833 and
married his first wife, Maria
Gertrud Krümberg in Ankum in
1865. They had one child. She
was born in Tütingen in 1844
and died in Rüssel in November
1868.
Five months later he married his
second wife, Maria Elisabeth
Pohlmann in Ankum and they
had 5 children. She was born in
Besten in 1838 but no record of
her death was found. He died in
Brickwedde in October 1885,
14 months after his brother,
Hermann Friedrich left for
Texas.
Hermann Grahmann told family
members that he had a brother
who migrated to New York about
the same time Hermann left for
Texas; but records show that
Bernhard never left Germany.
Hermann Grahmann’s older
children born in Ankum may have
known their Uncle Bernhard, but
the oldest, Mary Elizabeth (Sr.
Aloysius) was only 8 years old
when they left for America.
Bernhard Heinrich’s son Herman
Julius and daughter Maria
Elizabeth Antoinette have
descendants in Ankum and
Frankfurt Germany.

DESCENDANTS OF HERMAN FA GRAHMANN’S
BROTHER
Editor's Notes
There are many hundreds of Grahmanns here today, and I would like to ask you to wonder with me where we all came from. How did we get here? Who were our ancestors? What was everyday life like for them? What was going on in the world around them that would have an influence on their lives and ours?I think there is one Grahmann we all relate to because some of you in this audience may have met him. Many of you have heard stories about him. His name was Hermann Friedrich Anton Grahmann. He was called Hermann. Take a good look at the picture. Every one of us is descended from him.Now let’s go back and start with the earliest Gramann we know. Hermann’s great grandfather.
When Johan Gramann was born, there was no Texas, no United States. He may have heard about the American revolution and the French revolution in 1789, but it would have meant little to him. Life on the farm was essentially subsistence living and it is likely that Johan was a peasant who did not own his own land, and he probably could not read or write.It is interesting to note that the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament and the Brothers of the Christian Schools were founded in France in the 1700’s, and would have a profound impact on education in Europe and America; and Johan’s distant descendants would be members of both organizations. His baptismal record in the Catholic parish church of St. Nikolaus in Ankum shows he was born in 1733, but the month and day are not clear. It also shows that one of his sponsors atbaptism was Johan Peter Graman, whose baptism is recorded in 1687. The genealogist in Ankum who researched the family stated that, in accord with the custom fairly common even today in that part of Germany, Johan Peter was probably Johan Herman’s uncle.

Grandpa Grahmann told his children that the only family he had left was an older brother who migrated to New York about the same time he migrated to Texas and that they never got in touch with each other. There was nobody left in Germany to write to because Grandma Grahmann’s family (Huehlefeld) had all migrated to Texas. As some of the Nicholas Grahmann family visited their Grafe relatives in and around Ankum in the 1950s and 1960s we were surprised to see the name Grahmann several times. Our Grafe relatives contacted all of them, and none of them had a record or a memory of anyone in their family who had migrated to Texas. We checked the records of nearby parish churches and found the name Grahmann, but none were connected to the Grahmanns in Ankum. Finally, in the spring of 1988 Albert C. Grahmann (whose father Carl was one of the 15) made one more try. This time the church secretary in Ankum spotted the name “Neve-Grahmann” and wondered if there was a connection. There was. His father’s name was Hermann Julius Grahmann, who had died in November 1918 during the world-wide flu epidemic at the end of World War I. Neve-Grahmann’s grandfather was Bernhard Heinrich Grahmann, our Grandpa Grahmann’s brother. We also discovered that Bernhard Heinrich had a daughter named Maria Elisabeth Antoinette who married Friedrich JakobBerens and that their son Hermann Berens moved to Gemuenden on the west bank of the Rhine near Frankfort and raised a family there. We visited Josef Bernhard Neve-Grahmann and his family on their farm near Ankum and Hermann Berens and his family in Gemuenden. We have had regular contacts with most of these cousins. They are not part of our family tree, but they are our Grandpa Grahmann’s nieces and nephews.
Hermann Julius Grahmann is the son of Hermann FA Grahmann’s brother, Bernhard Heinrich Grahmann. Hermann is first cousin to Hermann FA Grahmann’s children.Josef Neve-Grahmann is the son of Hermann Julius Grahmann. He was adopted by the Neve family after his father and mother both died during the influenza epidemic of 1918.
