Bertha Louise Volkmer was my great grandmother.My grandfather was Herman Charles Ebert.Census records indicate she was born in Dec 1855.Ships records indicate a Bertha Volkmer, age 16 arriving in New York on August 8, 1872 aboard the vessel Hammonia, so if all records are accurate, this is probably the same Bertha Volkmer.
From family recollection, she was born in Langenbielau, Silesia, Germany, now Bielawa, Poland.
I'd love to get more information on her if you have been successful in your search.I have been able to get information on her husband, Herman Julius Ebert and have visited his birthplace, Ernstthal-Hohenstein, Germany.I've made inquiries into Bielawa's records, but have not been unsuccessful.
