Friedrich Wilhelm Simon Güdemann (b. August 19, 1809, d. October 29, 1896)

Friedrich Wilhelm Simon Güdemann (son of JOHANN JACOB GÜDEMANN and Maria Barbara Oswaldin) was born August 19, 1809 in Vogelbach, Baden, Germany, and died October 29, 1896 in Marzell, Baden, Germany. He married Anna Barbara Kindorf on September 21, 1836 in Marzell, Baden, Germany, daughter of Johann Jacob Kindorf and Anna Maria Gassin.

Notes for Friedrich Wilhelm Simon Güdemann:
Friedrich Wilhelm Simon moved from Vogelbach to Marzell, the birthplace of his father, in 1836 to marry Anna Barbara Kindorf, a native of Marzell.

Friedrich Wilhelm Simon was a "Nagelschmied", a blacksmith who makes nails. We have always known that my great-grandfather, Fritz Güdemann, was a blacksmith when he arrived in America in 1853. New light is shed on this when we learn that his older brother was a "Nagelschmied". In view of this, Fritz, in all probability, started out as a blacksmith who pounded out nails.

Fritz Güdemann, born in 1916, son of Phillip(1873) of Marzell, grandson of Jacob Friedrich(1842), and grear-grandson of Friedrich Wilhelm Simon[1809] was killed
in World War II in 1944 in Russia after serving on fronts in France, Holland,
Belgium, and Greece.

Hans Werner Güdemann[1940] and Fritz Güdemann[1923] live in Marzell today with their wives. They are second cousins, both being great-grandsons of Jacob Friedrich[1842]. This means that they are sons of two of my third cousins. When my wife Maria and I made unannounced visits on them we were most cordially received, and they were quite surprised to learn that they have relatives in
America. Fritz served in the German infantry in World War II. He saw action in Russia near the Black Sea and was wounded five times. He spent three months in an American prisoner-of-war camp near Memmingen in Bavaria. Hans Werner and Fritz are the only Güdemanns now living in any of our ancestral villages of Kürnberg, Hausen, Endenburg, Kaltenbach, Marzell, and Vogelbach.
