: Hi! : I am doing genealogical research, and have been : lucky enough to trace my paternal and maternal lines : back to the 14 and 1500's. : What I would like to find out is if there is a connection : with Anna Maria Schumann and Robert Schumann. Anna married Johann Peter Wambold : July 23rd, 1678. They lived in Zwingenburg, Hesse-Darmstadt : Germany......One of the reasons this is so important to me is because : I am a professional musician, and I have three children who are all musicians as well. : I'm a cellist, my son is a violinist, my daughter a cellist and my oldest son a trombonist. : I also play the trumpet....for fun in a 22pc. British Style Br Band that I manage...I also give private lessons (a few, I mostly perform)..and my children are gifted. : I was surprised to read Anna Schumanns name in my family tree. I know that mothers sometimes : are not objective about their children, but I took my children out of school so that : they could study music....they are all doing exceptionally well. (My 13 yr old son is about to : perform Zigunerweisen by Sarasate and plays the Bach Sonatas and Partitias....and is so excited : because his teacher told him that Pagannini's Caprices are next.... : For fun he fiddles....he has won several championships including US NorthEast Scottish : Championships.....my daughter (11) is extremely talented as well, she knows all of the clefs, : and plays in all of the positions....and her vibrato is to die for. (Both are traditionally trained : not Suzuki) and my son plays the trombone....he has a natural ability, and learns fast but is not as intense. : We are kind of like the Von Traps(sp?) where we live. We perform as a family....we will be producing a CD : within the next year or so..... : When I saw Anna Schumann's name as my several : greats grandmother....I was excited. : If anyone knows how I can find this out....I would be grateful..Thanks Maryjane
