Germer and Maria Faasch. 11-year Johann
Germer was orphaned shortly after his birth in Lubeck, Germany, near the Lubeck
Bay of the Baltic Sea, southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark, 40 miles northeast of
Hamburg, about 500 miles as the crow flies due east across the North Sea from
Leeds, England. On 1 Apr 1834, at the
age of 25 in Lubeck, he will marry 26-year old Maria Faasch, also of
Lubeck.

young) and two younger brothers, 4 children living in Lubeck with their
parents, 43-year old Michel Hinrich Faasch and 39-year old Catheraina Dorothea
Weideman Faasch.
Maria and her
brothers are: Herman Henrich Johann Faasch, 1804-1856, KFK9-QNT; Peter Wilhelm Jurgen Faasch, 1806-1806, K67P-V4S; Maria Catharina Elsabe Faasch, 1808-1876, LHJM-H9F; Franz Christopher Faasch, 1811-1865, LCZY-M8B; Frederich Wilhelm Faasch, 1813-1869, KFK9-QJF.
