Judy, Yes, this is interesting. I went and checked all of Hein's books for Maria Salome FREY. Sometimes records for one town show up in another (I'm not sure why). But, I didn't find any Maria Salome FREY. I'm wondering what the source of your information is. Hein's book on Wingen is split into two sections: /Die Aufschlusselung der evangelisch - lutherischen Kirchenbucher von Wingen an der Moder, 1757 - 1789 (1792),/ and /Die Bearbeitung der katholischen Kirchenbucher von Wingen der Moder, 1749-1792./ I've always wondered if Hein's work was all inclusive - perhaps not.

My last OSSWALD birth in Wingen is for Johann Michael OSSWALD (b. 13MAR1793 - d. 1877 in Amherst, Erie County, New York). My last FREY birth in Wingen is Maria Salome FREY (b. 07MAR1765). > > Judy > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Dave Francis <dave.francis@sbcglobal.net> > To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:56:43 AM > Subject: Re: [A-L] Diehlmann and Frey families of Wingen > > Ray, > Do you have more exact dates?

I know their names were George Henry Frey and Catharine Diehlmann and that Catherine Diehlmann died in Wingen on the 30th of January, 1848.
