I thank you a lot for the information you gave on my familyname.
I\’m not an expert. I don\’t know if there is a link somehow between my family and the former Mehlbaum family in Wallis, but anyway we share our name.

I also wonder, because I learned that Mehlbaum is also a Jewish name, if the Mehlbaum family in Wallis had Jewish roots.
My family is christian, I\’m interested in jewish religion and jewish culture. On the Internet I found one jewish family of which the mother\’s name was Mehlbaum, the father\’s name was Motek. They lived in Poland, in Zolkiew, Lwow Wojewodztwa, at the end of the 19th century.

Mehlbaum in Trier/St. Gangolf, Germany

On this page, among others of the Mehlbaum family, Catharina Sabina Caecilia Mehlbaum, who was married to Kaspar Franz Potesta in St. Gangolf in 1712.
I wonder if Catharina Sabina Caecilia Mehlbaum is the same as Caecilia Mehlbaum.

Can you give me information on these matters?
Anyway, I\’m thankful for the information you\’ve already given to me.

Kind regards,
Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
Paul Mehlbaum
