Welcome, I am Bob Sommer and I created this site to share my genealogy work with all visitors. Enjoy

I have been working on our families for 20 years. The family tree is about 4.300 people in 1,500 families. To see the whole tree, click here: Sommer Hammond Families

I am working on the following families:

HAMMOND: links to Thomas HAMMOND of Lavenham, Suffolk, England 1545 to Newton, MA. These families are documented in the book History & Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America, Frederick Stamm Hammond, 1902 EAMES: links back to Thomas EAMES, Dorset, England 1550 to Marshfield, MA Also see Ralph D Clark at http://www.oocities.org/Heartland/Plains/5869 New England page for more Eames folks. SAMSON: links to Henry SAMSON, Mayflower passenger 1620 England to Massachusettes. I had a lot of help from Max Lynds on this connection. Visit him at http://ainop.com/users/max/html/index.htm Also, OBRIEN, TORPEY, FOLEY from Ireland to Massachusettes in 1860. SOMMER, SCHROEDER, BOLZMANN: mid1800's Germany to Michigan. I have added a file of all the Sommer family names I have collected from around the Saginaw, Michigan area. These are not necessarily related, but might help some of you. GILLMAN, ISERHOTH mid 1800's Germany to Michigan ARTHUR, BATES, DART from 1500 England to New Haven, CT to Michigan. For more Dart/DuFord, visit my cousin Howard DeFord at http://lhnet.simplenet.com/hed

To download a copy of my file, click here: SOMMER.GED You will see the text file, chose file, save and provide a local name. This will download the whole GED file. It is about 1 MB

I continue to find new family information, so check back often!
