The 4 church parishes on Fehmarn seem to have excellent records, some back to the 1300's. Showing only the direct line here, the Fehmarn database provides more names of the Wulf families at Fehmarn.
Langbehn, Blissmer, and Wulf were all associated with St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church In Calumet City, Illinois.
