Searching for Ancestors of Hermann Rumpeltin

Hello! My German is not very good so I will write this in English, my apologies. My name is Edward Rumpeltin and I currently live in California USA, but I grew up in New Jersey very close to New York City.

I am researching my ancestors from Germany and I am hitting a wall when it comes to my Great Great Grandfather Hermann Rumpeltin. He was born in 1838 but I have seen different places of birth. Bavaria on some, Prussia on some, and Dassel in Lower Saxony on some.
I have not found any hard evidence on his birth and parents.

I am currently on Ancestrty.com but seem to be going in circles. Where else can I turn for help? I would really like to know more about my fathers side of the family.

My best guess on the details for Hermann are this: Born 1838 in either Prussia or Bavaria, Married to Wilhelmine Becker who was born in 1840. Her family seems to possibly be from the Westphalia area.

Through census data I have inferred that they had one child, Wilhelmine, before emigrating to the United States. She was born in 1862 and the first time I see Hermann in a US census is 1870, so they must have emigrated between 1862-1870.
Some of the possible connections I have made points to our family being from or near the Dassel area.
His other children Caroline Luisa , William , and Friedrich ( my great grandfather ) were born in New York.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

Hello,

according to the birth entry of the son Wilhelm, on 20 Mar 1876, Hermann Rumpeltin was from Walsrode.

the parents were according to the death entry
Dora and Friedrich Rumpeltin

The family seems to have moved to Walsrode shortly before 1841.
Unfortunately, I could not find anything about the origin of the family.

In the church book Walsrode there is no baptism entry of Hermann, but two baptism entries of siblings (?)

Friedrich Wilhelm
http://www.archion.de/p/15a2ce8bae/
and
Julius Heinrich Friedrich
http://www.archion.de/p/da7e1db2d2/

the names of the parents Johann Heinrich Friedrich Ludwig Rumpeltin and Maria Dorothea (Dora) Wode match.

At the confirmations I could find

1848 in Walsrode - Elisabeth Sophie, born on 30 Jun 1834
http://www.archion.de/p/f53c6b33f8/

1850 in Walsrode - Heinrich Ludwig August, born on 27 Mar 1836
http://www.archion.de/p/84adf83bd4/

Johann Heinrich Friedrich Ludwig Rumpeltin died in 1849 in Walsrode, about 49 years old, and left 5 children.

I have not looked through the death records for Dorothea Rumpeltin, perhaps she married again (not looked through either) and moved away?
The confirmations in 1851 and after 1855 are missing, between 1852 and 1855 no Rumpeltin was confirmed.

Julius Heinrich Friedrich Rumpeltin emigrated as well.

Possibly additional information about the family can be found in the emigration documents of Julius.
