I am trying to find out any information regarding the "Baum" ancestors of my family. At some point I feel they might have come over from Germany at some point with Baum being of German origin. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this.

this would have been better posted on "Find Ancestors" however - can you give us some names - how far back have you got - anything you can tell us - where did they settle in UK - if they did? :-)

I can see lots in England going back to the 1700s

stacks in Leicestershire and Yorkshire

these look as if they came from Germany

I have found relations of my husband who were from Netherlands/Germany on this free site

https://familysearch.org/

that's the site I use

we need a location to pinpoint the correct family

As far as I know they lived in Leicester or surrounding area. Because Baum is a german surname, I am wondering when they came over from Germany and sellted in the UK
