Carl August Ferdinand Ziemer 
Born in Woedtke-Ruhleben, Kreis Greifenberg, Greifenberg Coat of Arms
Pommern, 6 October 1823                                                                
                                                                    
Could this be the father of our immigrant ancestor, Martin Gottlieb Ziemer?             

Ziemer researcher Penny Ziemer Ford, of the Pommern-L group, referred me to this entry in a Church Registry from the village of Ruhleben near Woedtke (LDS Film # 1334626):
 

 
 
I know, it's like trying to fill an inside straight in a game of draw poker.  I should be working back from Martin G. Ziemer to discover him and his father in Pommern.  But there are a few reasons why it's possible to think this might be our ancestor:
 

            Carl
            Martin G.
            Charles A. F.
            Martin F.
            Charles O.
            Martin W.

    And here we have Carl's father: Martin Friedrich Ziemer - Is it a coincidence, or one more link in the family tradition?

NEXT: I need to find a source from the Woedtke/Goerke/Ruhleben area to find a later record of Carl -- ideally Martin G's birth or christening. -- to connect the known to the unknown.
