Hello all, I am seeking some info on the Parents of Magdelena Frey, wife of Frederick Oswalt of Wingen. I know their names were George Henry Frey and Catharine Diehlmann and that Catherine Diehlmann died in Wingen on the 30th of January, 1848. But other than that I have hit of a bit of a wall. Any help appreciated. Raymond Gross

I asked a volunteer living near the CAOM to send me a copy of his death record which says that: Robert HUHN, single, student, 25 years old, born in Szudowicz (Prussia), with his home in Halle (Germany), died 21 January 1865 at 1:00 AM in Algiers/Alger, 1 rue du Hamma. No information about his father and mother (mention ''sans renseignement'').

If necessary, I can send you the death certificate as attachment at your private email address. All the best from Alsace Ewald

Jane, You might also try the Strasbourg civil records. Microfilms of these records can be rented at your local LDS Family History Center.

(As a member of the B-W mail list, I notice you have not posted a similar query there.) There are civil and church microfilmed records for Mannheim.

My great-grandmother whom I know as Caroline Lepique emmigrated to the U.S. on 16 Aug 1850 and married Ernst Fasold the following October in St. Louis, MO. All the US census data lists her birth location as Baden, but it has always been passed down to us that she was from Alsace Lorraine. I have never been able to locate her family, don't have any more information on their names or where they're from. I came upon a web site that indicated the existence of an 1836 census for the city of Strasbourg, with a Lepique listing. Does anybody have this data, and can they enlighten me if this might be my great grandmother's family. My information on her birth year ranges from 1828 to 1832. The application for her immigration says that her last known residence was Mannheim. However, no Lepique shows up on German databases. Any help will be appreciated. Castle Garden records show that she immigrated on the Nord America, origination Hamburg, that she was a farmer, and her first name was spelled Karoline. Any help will be appreciated.

"Kin" is easy -- any siblings, half-sibs, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. "Kith" is everyone else -- friends, neighbors, co-workers, fellow parisheners, club or professional organizations, and any other people they regularly associate with. Be sure to look for obituaries published in German-language newspapers and/or church magazines, as these are often much more detailed than those in local newspapers. My collected links about research in the Alsace: http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/alsace.html Double-check to see that you've covered all the bases in the emigration records, where the village name is sometimes mentioned: http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/french-emigration-indexes.html Researching those who traveled with your family of interest on the ship Suevia and on Joseph's ship might be valuable also.

Hello. I am new to the list and looking for help researching my Alsatian ancestors. The last name, based on US census and NY ship records, is KUPPER. I am hoping to take my research back to Alsace to learn more. I do not know their community, which seems to be essential in Alsace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are 22 persons named BOSCH in the Bischwiller and Haguenau census. Is there a Louis, Eugene or Andrew? If so, perhaps I should buy the disc? I think it is 37 Euros. Andrew would have been about 8 years old. Louis was his father and his mother was Barbara DIETRICH. There were 22 BOSCH persons in the Strasbourg census as well. Do the LDS family centers make these discs available? Thank you, Robert Bosch

Hi, I am very new to the List, but have been researching a man named Alois L. Schutt who once lived in Alsace-Lorraine. I think he was born in Ober-eschbach, if I have spelled that correctly, around 1846-1850 (he said Jan 1st). He came to the US in June 1859, with his mother (Marie Auguste) and father, Morand. But the ship register ('Wm Tell') shows their last name as "Jud'. Was this a common alternative to Schutt? He lived for a while in Newburgh, NY, but then settled in Cleveland, Ohio (as a gun/locksmith, where he (Alois) died in 1910. He was married three times: in 1870, in 1877, and in 1902. Is it possible to verify his birthdate back in Alsace? Or what the middle 'L.' stood for? Much thanks! Allen in Brooklyn **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?

Bonjour Valorie, Thank you so mutch for all this good informations, addresses.. For the moment I try all informations and I have proggressed . Can you said me where I can found a email address for this person John Arthur MITCHELL 415 North Cross Lane Monroe, Georgia 30656 ? Merci Nicole

Hallo Roland, All my family is of course from Bas Rhin (Alsace) or Switzerland and Germany but I live in the french Alps near Annecy (450 km from Strasbourg) I think you r Gfathers was from BOUXWILLER ( Bouzwiller does not exist)Haut -Rhin.the towns of HOMMER and HARREBERG are not in Bas-Rhin , Alsace but in Moselle who is one of the four "departement" of Lorraine. My family is from Bouxwiller ( Bas-Rhin ( near Saverne) and is lutheran.My GGmother fathers side is also a RICHERT and this name ( very common in Alsace) is one of them who appears the most in my genealogy. Genealogy occupy a big place in my life since more than ten years but I'm most informed about lutheran genealogy about the areaaround Bouxwiller and Gundershoffen.I have write a book about the families from Zutzendorf ( a little village near Bouxwiller and Pfaffenhoffen) beetween 1654 and 2006.Most habitants of the village emigrate to the States.( REEB, GANGLOFF, LENTZ, RICHERT, ROSENFELDER, RUCH, SCHINI, SCHMITT, SCHNEIDER, STAUB, WENCK, HERMANN ,GALL,SPRIESS are one of them). Ich habe mich sehr auf Ihre Antwort gefreut und mein Deutsch ist viel flüssiger als mein Englisch.Leider kenne ich nicht die Gegend von Bouxwiller Haut Rhin und auch nicht die Gegend von Hommer.Tut mir leid dass ich darüber nicht austauschen kann.Falls sie über Elsass im Algemeine austauschen wollen, können sie mir privat schreiben.( You can contact me privatly if you are interrested by general questions of Alsace) Have a nice sunday. Nicole

Hello Nicole, My name is Dutch Schultz and my family immigrated to the US from Obermodern in the mid 1840's. Does your book include any families from Obermodern or just Zutzendorf? Do you know whether the churches in Zutzendorf only Lutheran or were there others in the area? Thank you. Dutch

Nichole, I must have missed an email. What book was Dutch talking about? I am searching for Daniel CHRISMAN/CHRISTMAN/CHRISTMANN. He was born about 1705. He arrived in Pennsylvaia Sept. 5, 1730 with 130 Palatinates. Family lore has that they came from Bavaria. Other sources say that his father was Georg of Swabia (not proven). Can you or anyone else be of any help?
