Today I am writing about the marriage of Friedrich Formazin [Fermazin] and Louise Bonau. Fredrich married Louise Boanau in Ruhden, Posen, Prussia. He was single and the marriage papers stated his father was deceased.
In researching our family history in Posen, Prussia, [present day Poland] we found Friedrich Formazin was the son of Daniel Formaezyn born about 1785 and Mariana Soblinska.

We pick Friedrich Vormazin up in Labischin, Kreis Schubin in 1840 as a 21 year old lad getting married to Louise Bonau. Friedrich Vormazin Formazin married Louise Bonau (possibly Huguenaut name) in Labischin on Dec.6,1840.Per his marriage records he was single, age 21, and resided in Ruhden, his father was deceased at time of marriage, while Louise is also listed as single 24 years and 5 months.

I know quite a bit about August Fermazin so will write a post about him and his family. One member of his family came to Chicago to see her Grandpa Friedrich Fermazin and stayed on to get married in Michigan. Then of course we lose her in the records. [Friedrich Fermazin came to the USA in 1879 with his third wife, Caroline Hartwig. I am getting ahead of myself.
I am trying to do more research on Louise Bonau. I think the Bonau name is Huguenaut. Looking for birth and family records for Louise. I am hoping by finding more out about the Bonau's I might find where the Fermazin's were living before Posen. [Possibly The Netherlands or Alsace Lorraine]
Louise Bonau is not my direct line. After her death Friedrich married twice more. I am descended from the second family: Friedrich Formazin and Justine Brauer.
