Jane,
In looking at church records from that area from the mid-18th century to
1900(when the records cut off), I have found that certain patterns are
there. First- more than 1 child could have the same christian name (my own
grandfather & his older brother were both Johan, each named for a different
great-grandfather, each called by a different nick-name, by the family)
Therefore , as an example, Johan Schmitt could be the godfather of the child
of his brother, also Johan Schmitt.
Second, when a "d
ok,
But to my Fitten problem again
Fitten takes me to Hilbringen but those records start in 1802
I need a birth in 1759
so I'm wondering does anyone know what parish Fitten would have been in in
1759?
thanks, Debbie
Hello friends. I have finally found out the correct name for my
gggrandmother. It is ANNA GRO_B\SCH She was born in 1867 in Rittersdorf,
Germany. Her father was MICHAEL GRO_B\SCH and her mother was CLARA HAU. I
had problems reading the film for Rittersdorf, but I did decipher their name.
I am hoping someone knows something about them. Thanks, Jan

David,
I was going by what's on the Kr. Merzig-Wadern Records web page. Those
records start with 1802.
Ok, I see what it is. It must be a new film, it's from the vault. It'll
be a 2 month wait but, it will be worth it.

Well, I don't exactly have information on the Deiterichs but I do some
work on Darscheid and I have many Dederichs, Diederichs, Diedrichs, and
Dedrichs along with Hammes in my data base. I looked for the exact ones
you mentioned and did not find them.
I recall seeing the name Hermes often in going through the church books
for Ulmen, Meyserich, Daun, and Darscheid. These books are available on
film at your local LDS Family History Center. Film numbers are 0530200
and 0560652 for Ulmen and Meyserich. Numb
Jan you have two choices, find what library near you has the Germans to
America volumes and look in the 1880 book index for your relatives name and
it will tell you what page that information is on.
Also the National Archives has microfilm filed by date of arrival, which
luckily you have, so you should find your local branch. Any library can tell
you the one near you. Good luck Jack

My great great grandfather, Nicholas Heinen, was born in the Trier area of
Germany. His parents were Paul and Margaret Heinen were his parents.
Nicholas immigrated to the United States in 1856 (from his naturalization
record). A ship passenger list in 1856 (Antwerp to New York) has a Nicholas
Heine which I can only speculate as being him. He was born 15 Dec 1828. He
settled in Stearns Co., Minnesota. I am interested in any information that
could be found on this family.
Passenger lists for ships entering New York are held by the National
Archives. See:
http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/immigrant/immpass.html
They are available at many public libraries or can often be obtained
through interlibrary loan. Contact your local library for information.
Passenger list microfilm can also be obtained at all LDS Family History
Centers. Call your nearest Mormon church to find one near you.
Hope this helps,

Hallo Barbara,
I've got a Hinderscheid (Hinterscheid) (Heinerscheit) in my family. He came from
Heinerscheit (village) northeast from Clervaux (in german: Clerf) which is in
Luxembourgh.
In the first half of the 18. century he got married to a woman with surname
Brechel from Orlenbach.
That's what I know so far.

Hi:
Search no more-Jackie- I believe I have found what you are searching for--in
my large index in progress of Luxembourg marriages I have located the
marriage of an Antoine(Anton) Bourg married to a Catherine Schwantgen at
Lintgen, Luxembourg. Nothing else I found even remotely matches this
marriage so it is probably the one you are searching for.

it's not exclusive to that area since the name is widespread through
the area as well as in Luxembourg and the Saarland regions.

Hello Folks,
Is anyone else researching this family??
My greatgrandfather was Anton Marx born in Saarburg. He married Anna Marchand and had a daughter (my grandmother), Anna Josefine Marx born in 1881 in Trier. Anton's parents were Wilhelm Marx and Maria Salm. (Not 100 percent sure of the accuracy of the next part) Wilhelm's parents were Nikolaus Marx born in Saarburg , died April 1st, 1882 his profession was Skipper (master?) and Nikolaus's wife was Johanna Muller (2 dots over the u).

Mike,
Your question assumes that using the word 'Germany' would coincide with the establishment of a political entity. Not so. The word use -and 'Germany' is an English word by the way- comes as a result of international trade negotiations, consideration (on the part of the manufacturer), or treaty.
I would suspect that the name 'Germany' on the pottery betrays a relatively recent date for the pottery. Perhaps even as recent as the 1950s or 1960s. (I am not an appraiser of art or antiques, certainly not

Jan,
Your local LDS Family History Center also has access to the arriving ships
passenger lists into New York. The FHL catalog
(http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp) will give
you the number of the correct microfilm to order. For some reason they made
it difficult to find the ship's manifests in their online catalog. The best
way I've found is to use a known one and enter that known microfilm number
(such as 0175525 that my family was on). The complete list will then be
given, all
I am so stumped! I know my great great grandparents came from the Trier or Luxembourg area along the Moselle River. They came to Illinois pre 1858. This is as far back as I can get. Does anyone on the list have resources they could check for the name SASCH. Any help would be so appreciated.
Thankyou

I have my grandfather's shaving-soap mug, and it has 'Germany' printed on
the bottom. Does anyone know when Germany became a political entity that
would be identified as the country of origin on pottery?
Thanks

What was the most common port of departure for people who lived in the
Trier area. My husband had family who lived in Freudenburg before they came
to the United States and I was wondering what the most common port of
departure was for that area in the mid to late 1800's.

We sure do!!! I found another set of ancestors today. I also wondered if he
looked at original documents. So many of the Brotdorf pages are so faded on
the microfilm. Yet he was able to record the names and dates.
