Amanda Radzyminska was born November 7, 1887 in Mdzewo, Poland (currently Mazowieckie region, south of Mlawa) to Karl Radzyminski and Anna Heller. Her father Karl was a farmer and wheel builder. Although her father had a "Polish" surname, both of her parents considered themselves to be German, and were part of the expansive German diaspora living in Poland. In the early 1900's, 2 of Amanda's older siblings emigrated to the United States: Julia in 1903, and Emma in 1905. A first cousin, Albert Heft, had emigrated in 1901.
(Two other younger siblings - Ludwig and Rudolph - also came to the United States - in 1907 and 1913 respectively. Rudolph changed his surname to Heller - his mother's maiden name.) A niece Julia Kutzke - daughter of oldest sister Bertha, who remained in Poland - also came to the US in 1913.
When Amanda turned 18, she decided to follow them. On April 2, 1906 she arrived in the US through the port of Baltimore, Maryland and proceeded on to Cleveland, Ohio. She was going to stay with her "brother in law" Wilhelm Bayer. Wilhelm was not her brother in law, but apparently he was her intended husband: 3 months later in July 1906, she married him. Wilhelm Bayer was another German immigrant from the same area of Poland. A week later, also in July, Amanda's cousin Albert Heft married Wilhelm's sister Ida Bayer.
Together Amanda and Wilhelm (also known as William) had 3 children:
1907 - Emelia
1908 - Rudolph
1914 - Olga
Sometime between the births of Rudolph and Olga, William and Amanda moved slightly west from Cleveland to Amherst, Ohio (in Lorain County).
William worked as a farmer, as well as for Ohio Cut Stone. He died at the age of 83 on August 23, 1961. Amanda died at the age of 95 in 1983.
