About Murma-Enman-Caldwell Connections
THE MURMA FAMILY
There is no information of record for a family genealogy in Lithuania as all records
kept in churches and government offices were burned by the Germans in World War II.
Therefore, the oral history is all we have. The information was gathered by Walter A.
Murma (1918-1981) from family members in the United States and by correspondence with
the Lithuanian branch in Vilnius.
Current information on the family has come, via e-mail, from Sigitas Sulcas in
Lithuania; he found my name and e-mail address on the Find-A-Grave site. Showing us
all that it really is a small world after all!
THE ENMAN FAMILY
All information is from extensive work done by Mildred (Enman) DeNooy, late of Los
Angeles, California (Prince Edward Island Archives has 12 binders of information
compiled by Mildred), Richard Mark Enman, of Massachusetts, and Norma (Milligan)
Falconer, of Lucknow, Ontario, Canada (see "The Enman Family" at tribalpages.com). A
note from Mildred in her genealogy states that the family cemetery at Grandview is now
called "Martin Enman Pioneer Cemetery".
THE CUMMINGS FAMILY
From Arlene Somers Gillian, of Alberton, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
THE MacLEOD FAMILY
From William MacLeod, of Massachusetts, with information from Marjorie Matthews Bemont
and Cassie Gordon MacPhee.
THE CALDWELL FAMILY
Research by Dorcas (Pratt) Caldwell, late of Orange, Texas, and Patricia (DeCuio)
Caldwell, of Williamsport, Pennsylvania; this was input into a data base by Susan M.
Caldwell and can not be retrieved. Sue did a printout before the data was lost and I
have worked from that and from a box full of documents she sent me, some original,
some copies.
THE PRATT FAMILY - THE JEWETT FAMILY
All this information was given to me by Susan M. Caldwell, of Orange, Texas and/or
Dorcas (Pratt) Caldwell, and was prepared, apparently, by one of the children of
Charles G. Pratt as references are made as: "dad's second brother" (Thomas Franklin
Pratt) "mother's father" (John S. Jewett). This person obviously had access not only
to many living persons in 1962, when this hand typed document was prepared, but also
access to the family Bible or Bibles.
THE HUMMEL FAMILY
Historical information is from "A Genealogy of Selected Northumberland County,
Pennsylvania, Pioneer Families, from the Arrival of the Immigrant Ancestors to
the Present Time; Part XI, The Johan Jacob Hummel Family", compiled by Joseph A
Meiser, Jr., B.S., Ph.D., Sarah Roadarmel Meiser, and Dorothy Schuck Amerman.
Published by the authors 1983. Current family information on the George Phillip
Hummel, b. 1727, branch can be found in "The Hommel/Hummel & Lewis Families" on
tribalpages.com, research by Michael E. Hommel.
THE SCHUCK AND DEIBERT FAMILIES
From Dorothy Schuck Amerman.
THE URBAN FAMILY
Sent to Susan Marie Caldwell by Sherry Witt Pries.
THE PHILLIPS FAMILY
Information from Veryl Geraldine Cates and from a manuscript entitled "The Ancestry of
Paul R. Phillips, compiled by Helen M. Phillips". The manuscript, of which I have a
copy, was originally typed with photos, documents, family group sheets and charts. The
copy was returned to Mrs. Dean Barnette in 2009.
