Mary Ann, can you tell me, in the "An Every Name Index to Joseph Lies,
Luxembourg Immigrants to Aurora by Michael Fichtel" would that have towns of
origin? That is what I need badly is the town of origin for my Peter Linden
and Barney Linden. Can you look up Peter Linden b. abt 1836/37. Thanks for
your help again.
