Barnow, Kreis Rummelsburg, Pommern
Barnow
was just one the manorial farms associated with
the noble Puttkamer family of Kreis Rummelsburg. Their daughter Johanna married
Otto von Bismarck, the man the united Germany and was Chancellor of Germany. As
you can see above the large black bars show the barns associated with the
estate. The manor house (gut) is also there although not labeled. So first a

While
this village was very pleasant, the opportunities were few so our ancestors
left for America. In particular Martin Remus lived in nearby Besswitz and his child August Remus and his
wife Wilhelmine Dalke left for Millburg, Michigan after living in Barnow.
Martin�s daughter Johanna married into the Friedrich Steinhorst family that
directly moved to Minnesota from Besswitz. Martin�s son Johan worked at the
Puttkamer manorial estate at Reinfeld and
his son Heinrich lived in Wussow (Ossowo).
