Hi Elaine, Thankyou for your reply. I will subscribe to the site you suggested. I've received an incredible amount of information on this Bernard/t MOHR from Lisa in Australia for which I am very grateful. Next I'll work on tracing his brother, Niklaus, who I believe stayed in Trennfeld Bavaria where they were born. Have found nothing in a preliminary search of the IGI. Kind Regards, Carol Mohr....Canada Bernard MOHR - Germany to Australia Hello Carol, I don't have a connection to either of those names (as far as I know!) but wonder if you are subscribed to [email protected]? If not, I suggest that you may find it useful to do so and repost your message to that List. I presume you have already checked out Rootsweb for Mohr and Esses message boards, and that you have also checked those names on the IGI (www.familysearch.org)? Good luck in your research Elaine Shields (Aussie, now living in Ireland) Researching: Tulau, Helm, Frauenfelder, Rook, Saisell, Stevenson, Wright, Cox, Wisby, Lucas, Tower, Brandt ______________________________
