    Zum Berge, Hermann
      My ancestors Hermann Zum Berge and his wife Sophie nee Sturm sailed from Bremen, November 13, 1845,on the ship Creole. The Captain of the ship was J. Y. Dannemann. They arrived in Galveston in April 23, with 122 immigrants. They settled in New Braunfels. My Grandmother stated that he was a Texas Ranger. But it was not exactly correct. He was a lieutenant in Company B one of the seven Texas State Troops. He was a constable of New Braunfels and served in the Campaign against the Commanches. He was elected Treasury of New Braunfels and owned a farm there.

      "A New Land Beckoned"by Geue Hermann Zum Berge from Sulfeld amt Fallerseben Kgr, Hanover; wife Sophie nee Sturm arrived on the Creole from Bremen on November 13 1845, arrived Galveston on April 23, 1846, 122 immigrants on board.

      There is a dispute of information and lack of information: -Vol VIII No 2 1991 Baptism Records from the Protestant Congregation in New Braunfels Name: Robert Heinrich Emil Birthdate: March 12,1851 Date of Baptism: February 15, 1852 Father Friedrich Wilhelm Zumberge Mother Auguste Sophie nee Sturm (Hermann?) Some information states that the family lived in Gillespie county and some Comal County. New Braunfels was home to the ZumBergwes Hermann, Emil, Georgine, Hugo, Sophie and Anna (married Uecker)
      Any information you may have will be appreciated thank you.
