Listened to this talk with interest.
My name is Graham Baum and my father was Albert Baum born in1910 and lived until 1928 in Mountsorrel
I was born in 1940 so experienced some of the things said by Stephen Baum including working for a City Treasurer(Birmingham) and I finished my career as Deputy County Treasurer of Gloucestershire. My uncle ,Ellis Baum,was a policeman in Birmingham but then owned a market garden in Quorn.I also have cousins in the area.
I have a family tree going back to 1743 but would like to explore the possibility of going further back.Can you help?
Graham, I believe we are cousins. Your grandfather, William Henry, was a younger brother to my great-grandfather, Charles Edwin Baum, who emigrated to Maine in the U.S. to work in granite quarries.
The 2nd great grandfather Samuel Baum was the last Baum in my family to live in Mountsorrel before moving to north Wales (Llanaelhaearn) about 1890. All previous family members were born and raised in Mountsorrel, or a few areas Surrounding Leicester. His parents were Thomas Baum and Henrietta Cooke Bott and the parents of Thomas were Joseph Baum and Eliza Perry. Im still finding the tree beyond my 4th great grandparents.
