Johann Müller, my paternal second Great Grandfather, was born exactly 211 years ago, on 25 November 1813 in Ohl near Engelskirchen.
His parents were Martin Müller and Elisabeth Fluch. Johann was married to my second Great Grandmother, Franziska Gertrud Müller. Yes, her last maiden names was Müller as well. Müller is one of the most common last names in Germany. We don’t know when and where they got married. It’s a still a mystery. The first two children were born in Hückeswagen.
The next three children, including my Great Grandmother, Bertha Müller, were born in Elberfeld. Elberfeld is world famous for its suspension railway.
The last two children were born in my home town in Düsseldorf.
Johann died 26 March 1893 in Düsseldorf. The dates and locations about Johann and his family have been obtained through my research and collaboration with second and third cousins I found through DNA testing. Below is a map of where Johann and his family had lived. Ohl, Hückeswagen, Elberfeld and Düsseldorf.
