In 1852 the great grandfather of Simon Lauer, Nicholas, immigrated from Germany. Between 1845 and 1860 one million Germans fled with hope in their hearts for an opportunity denied them by circumstances in their homeland. Family Diversity, the Lauer, Borgmeier, Bauer Families Deutschland to Baltimore, Maryland and the MacCubbins 1650 to 2006, Volume II, is the genealogies, the stories, the descendents and the ancestors of these immigrants. Produced as a family history by Nancy Lee Waters, the hundreds of names in this book represent not only the typical tale of German families from this time period, but also represents the ancestry of many times more descendents who hail from these immigrants.
“The volume traces the ancestry of William Edward Lauer back to his 5th great grandfather, Nicolaus Lauer, born about 1665 in Stürzenhard, Germany. The Borgmeir, Bauer, and Würz family is followed from the immigrant, John MacCubbin, through his son, William, to Mary Susanna MacCubbin Lauer” Much of the information found in this volume came from researching the cemetery records of The Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery and church records of St. James and St. John’s Catholic Churches. These records helped fill in gaps in birth, baptism, marriage, and death dates.
