The masterful work of Moritz Stamm continues the Stamms of the Hesse until the brink of the 20th century. The above brief accounting only goes through the first 46 of the 257 Stamm’s listed in that work. The information transcribed stops after the children of Rudolf Wilhelm Stamm (25) – [Moritz Stamm, Geschichte der Familie Stamm in Hessen, 1912, to page 67] A copy of the complete work is on file with the Genealogical Society of Utah. While it is likely that there is some connection between the Hessen and Milwaukee Stamm families, the Moritz Stamm book does not show any migration to the New World, nor can any direct connection be made to the Milwaukee branch of the family
