Most of your ancestors seem to have come from villages in formerly New East Prussia. So may I suggest to contact Volker F. Hahn who is a specialist for Neu-Ostpreussen (Masowien: Ostrow-Mazowiecka / Lomza / Zambrow / Paproc-Duza). Volker has done extensive genealogical research on German settlers in this area, part of it has been published. Not only has he a card index for several thousand families based on the church books for the evangelical-augsburgian parish of Paproc-Duza [Groß Paproc = Königshuld] and the neighboring parishes of Andrzejewo, Jasienica, Szumowo etc., but also numerous genealogical tables of immigrants from Pommerania, Mecklenburg, Brandenburg, Wuerttemberg and the Palatinate. He might be able to give you some advice on how to trace your family.
Another person doing research on the Wildemann family from Paproc-Duza is Carol Gottschalk Burns.

Did you notice the following entry at the Odessa Digital Library: Bohn, Alexander, born 29 Oct 1876 in Worokomle, father Friedrich Bohn, mother Regina Kamin.

I do not know about books in English that would be appropriate for your research. A new one seems to be the "Genealogical Guide to East and West Prussia. Records, Sources, Publications & Events." (ca. 450 pages, 24 maps). By Edward R. Brandt and Adalbert Goertz, see http://www.grex.org/~goertz/new.html .
