Our journey begins in May 17, 1740 in Baumholder Germany where
Conrad Böhmer is born, son of Johan Sebation Böhmer and Ann
Margarethe Klein. Later, as a young man, he wed Juliana on 3
October 1765. Their first child Juliana was born in 1766 and
Margaret followed in 1767.
Later in the year, Conrad and Juliana decided like many other
Germans to seek their fortune in a new land. They along
with some 300 other passengers, boarded the good ship Hamilton and
landed in Pennsylvania in October 1767. Another passenger named
Frederich Böhmer is also listed after Conrad. Chances are very
good that it is a relation, Conrad later named one his sons, Frederich.
