Anna Elizabeth Dorothea Maurer (Frahm) - Birth Surname of Anna Elizabeth Dorothea - Frahm or Langhein

I am from Latvia, interested in geneology of my family. I am searching for roots of my grandmother, which are from Stendorf. Unfortunately I have no information on what happened with my grandmother’s family. She was born in 13 October, 1896, her name: Martha Maria Hudtwalker; registred in the church book of Eutin. She got maried in Oldenbourg with Pavel Mikel Leopold Stengrevics (he was from Latvia). Aroud 1919 both of them moved to Latvia. Via internet search I found probable names of my grandmothers parents – August Wilhelm Hudtwalker and Magdalena Dorothea Ealisabeth Hudtwalker (born Frahm). I really hope that you may have some references about them, so I could continue on with my research.

Best regards,Ruta

Lovely to hear from you Ruta. This is very interesting information. I have very little information on Anna Elizabeth Dorothea Frahm. I'm trying to find out more about her - who her parents are etc. What I do know is that she married my 2x great grandfather in South Africa in 1860. My 2x great grandfather was with the German Foreign Legion and arrived in South Africa in 1858 - I'm also trying to establish who his parents were but I'm not familiar with searching German records. They were both definitely German - this was confirmed by a church archivist. Have you done DNA testing? It would be interesting to see if we match.

Thank you for the very interesting information. Unfortunately I haven't done DNA testing, indeed it would be interesting to see if we match

Hello! I have done a DNA test. What is your kit?

Hi Ruta. I have tested with Ancestry and uploaded to GEDMATCH. Are you wanting my GEDMATCH kit details?

Further to our earlier correspondence I have ascertained that her mother married a Langheim who became her stepfather. I’ve been in correspondence with their descendants who have confirmed via passed down familytree the connection. So her birth surname was definitely Frahm.

Then it turns out that Anna could be my great-great-grandmother.

Hi Ruta,

Anna is my 2x great grandmother. She migrated to South Africa with her mother and stepfather in 1858 where she married my 2xgreat grandfather (1858/1859). My great grandfather was born in South Africa in 1881 - he was the youngest of their children.

She was 17 years old when she married my 2x great grandfather Gottlieb Maurer.

Which DNA kit are you talking about? I have tested with Ancestry, Myheritage, LivingDNA and FamilytreeDNA. I have uploaded to GEDMATCH.

Thank you

I have also uploaded my DNA to the Geni portal.
