Die Bach-Genealogie ... ein richtig cooles Buch von unserer Bach-Expertin Helga Brück in Erfurt: „Von der Apfelstädt und der Gera zum Missouri“. Und, seit 2023, ein weiteres Bach-Genealogie-Buch von Familienmitglied Dr. Waugh

Helga Brück verdanken wir, dass wir den Link hin zur Binderslebener Linie der Bachs fanden. Leider ist sie viel zu früh gestorben.

Was für ein Juwel: Zuerst entdeckten wir dieses Bild natürlich auf dem Titel des Buches von Helga Brück. Später bekamen wir dann sogar das Original von Cathy in den USA geschenkt.

"After a legacy of more than two centuries as famous Bach musicians in Thuringia, Germany, members of the family of Friedrich Nikolaus Bach make the first migrations to America, starting in 1840s. One son, Fred Bach, with his wife and children, plus three children of a daughter, ventured into the wilderness deep inside the interior of Wisconsin. This journey of adventure takes them to the Lewiston Township of Columbia County, Wisconsin. There they would establish new farm homesteads near the portage between the Wisconsin and Fox Rivers, not far from the abandoned military Fort Winnebago.

Our family in Germany had records of Bach migrants to the Lewiston area, mostly through Nancy Bach Hertzog, a descendant of that group. We had fewer records of Johann Christoph Bach, the first migrant who died abruptly in a place called Batavia. He became a forgotten man. Imagine the great joy and excitement in our greater Bach family in Germany when we learned that his only surviving child, Brigitta Sophia Bach, had children and grandchildren who later would also establish homesteads in Columbia County, south of Portage in Dekorra Township.

That discovery came about through our www.BachonBach.com website, and the discovery of our new "cousin" Donovan. He is one of the many Dekorra descendants of our Bach families in America, a group of descendants which in number may soon reach 1000 or more. This book, Volume No. 1, touches the lives of the large Waugh branch of musical Bach descendants. Our goal is to foster follow-up editions which will focus on the Hebel families of the Dekorra group, and the families of the large Lewiston Bach group. With this series, we hope to discover more about "who we are" by learning about "who we were."" (Quote)

Das linke Buch und das in der Mitte, beides wichtige Werke zur Genealogie der Musikerfamilie Bach, findet man praktisch nicht mehr. Weder gebraucht noch neu. Aber das Buch von Helga Brück ... das bekommen Sie noch. Und das komplett kauffrisch.
