On the German side of my ancestry, I'm researching the surnames BORNHAUSER/BORNHAEUSER, GAENZLER, HOFMANN and LEH. All are from the area of Unteröwisheim, Münzesheim and Bruchsal, which is about midway between Heidelberg and Pforzheim (due west of Heilbronn) in Baden-Württemberg.

On the Swedish side, the primary surnames of interest are PERSSON, PETERSON and TORELL, all(?) from Länna parish, Stockholm county.

Although I'm not actively researching the BALTIC name, any information is welcome. My branch of the family emigrated from a town named Glina in current-day Croatia, although the family is ethnically Serbian.
