These are all questions I have asked myself. I am guessing that people coming over, especially those traveling in groups, must have been in touch with friends or relatives who were already there on the ground. That's likely why they chose to go where they did in America. It would also explain how they were able to do things in advance, like purchase land. Moving a family of 13 must have been a giant undertaking which required lots of help on both sides of the Atlantic. We went to BW this past spring on an Elderhostel tour called Discovering Your German Roots. One of the things we discussed was the cost of the trip over the ocean and what supplies were required to survive a crossing of 6 weeks or more. Many of the emigrants needed financing to make it. A lot wound up signing contracts to work for a number of years after they arrived. There must be diaries or other books that have recounted these journeys. I just haven't seen any of them. I am off this week end to a reunion of the family I described in my earlier email. The 67th such event, but the first one I have ever attended. I'll let you know if there are any stories telling how this was all done.

My great great grandparents came to America in 1864 with 11 children including a child less than 1, starting out in Baden near Heidelberg and sailing from Antwerp to New York. After spending the winter in Baltimore, the whole crew walked to Toledo, Ohio to take up residence on a farm they had bought. In another situation I was researching on FamilySearch.org recently I found a couple in Wurttemberg who had a child every year for 6 straight years, everyone of whom died within no more than 3 months of birth. They may not have been the greatest generation, but by God they were the toughest. I like to try to imagine what these people were like, how they thought and all. But I just flat can't do it.

Hi Kathleen, Very good question as to how they paid for passage. Like Eric said, they sure were tough. They must have saved for years to be able to have enough money. I think some followed siblings and friends who may have "broken the trail" so to speak. Such was the case of my Great Grandmother Caroline Schofer. She came with a cousin to be with an older sibling. That was in 1867, not quite as early as 1832. But, still there was two single women traveling alone on such a long trip. They probably had basic clothing as they couldn't pack much to lug around. She wasn't here too long when she met and married my Great Grandfather Carl Reusche. They had 7 children of which only 3 survived. They moved around a lot finally settling in Chadron, NE., where they lived out their lives. Which brings up another question, where did they bury those little babies that they lost? But, I guess that is getting away from Germany!!

Wouldn't they be amazed by all the connivances we have today. We can fly from Heidelberg and be in New York in a short time, not several months. Can you imagine what the trip on those little ships must have been like......I just couldn't make it!!! From the description of those ships it was very miserable. Actually, quite miserable. The smell alone would be unbearable!! I guess on the other hand we would be astounded as to how they survived day to day. The year old I cannot find in Buffalo where they settled. She might not have made the trip. How sad to loose as many children as they did.

Dear Baden-Wuerttemberg List Friends, In response to a recent inquiry posted to this list by a subscriber, please note that there is currently *NO technical or other problem* occurring which might cause a "slowdown" in posts (or a lack of them) to the Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List. (Indeed, such a situation is so rare as to be almost non-existent.) The list is completely functional and operating normally. There have been multiple posts within the last 24 hours (which are evident in the list archives.) We respectfully request that subscribers PLEASE DO NOT POST *ON-LIST* INQUIRIES ABOUT WHETHER SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH LIST OPERATIONS in the event of a perceived problem. The best thing to do if you are concerned about the status of the list or your subscription in any way (including when the list seems "quiet") is just to send an e-mail to my (Carla's) personal address of: mscarlah@earthlink.net As List Co-Administrator, I am always happy to investigate difficulties subscribers may be experiencing with regard to list participation, mail receipt, etc. If you ever have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to let me know.

A belated thank you for your response. I will have to go to Trenton to see if I can find a death record for my great-grandfather. My grandfather's death certificate is not helpful. A son from his first marriage filled it in, and I have no idea whether the facts are true. Grandfather was supposed to have been born in Brooklyn in 1851, 1852, 1853 depending on the record you look at. I tried all the volumes of the Brooklyn 1855 census but had no luck I have looked for a manifest, but will try again using your suggestions.

I tend to get a lot of information from the computer, in fact, most of my basic research began online. I have seen a lot of hints over the year or so that I've been on this list, but here's one I had not seen - I came across it by accident. You Tube, a site you may have heard of, has more than music and comedy videos. They have lots of "HOW TO" videos. I happened upon "The Genealogy Guy" and this particular hint is really helpful. _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qefdagiK38_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qefdagiK38) If you do google searches much, what he does is tell you how to set up your google to highlight the words you are searching for - this makes it much easier to find your ancestor's name in a page that may be very long. I can hardly wait to go through the rest of The Genealogy Guy's videos to see what other helpful information he has for us! Happy searching.

Maybe still give it a try and go there???? :-) The books are micro filmed and the films are at the Diocese Freiburg (zip code 79098) and can be looked at there. Freiburg is way south of Germany near the french/swiss border. Reservation need to be made weeks before, because of limited amount of readers/reader-printers available. You can have that easier in going to you local family search center (mormons) and take a look at the films there, they have exactly the same films. I would recommend to go to Town Hall (in German "Rathaus") and get some information about Herbolzheim, and just do some sightseeing. Sorry, that I have not any better news. Hoping you still have a good time in Germany. Many greetings from Erika, Stuttgart/Germany -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: baden-wurttemberg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:baden-wurttemberg-bounces@rootsweb.com] Im Auftrag von Erika Lanz Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

Juni 2008 17:30 An: baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com Betreff: Re: [BW] Church visit (Erika Lanz) I have also been reading with interest the comments about church visits. I plan to visit Herbolzheim (Jagst) 74861, Neudenau around 13 July and was planning on going to the church to see if their records would be available. I have determined that my grandfather was born their and wanted to look up more info on my ancestors. Erika, I noticed that you offered to see if records were available for Glen. I was wondering if you could do the same for me, for the above town of Herbolzheim 74861. I would certainly appreciate it.

Thankyou. ======================================= Dear Bill & Baden-Wuerttemberg List Subscribers, In response to Bill's message above, first let me note that Darmstadt, Germany is a locality which is in a different geographical area than the ones covered by this list. (Darmstadt is a city in the Gernman state of Hesse or Hessen, rather than one within the former states of Baden, Wuerttemberg or Hohenzollern or the current "combined" state of Baden-Wuerttemberg upon which this list focuses.) Bill will likely have better results by subscribing to and posting his question on the RootsWeb HESSE list, information for subscribing to which can be found at: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/DEU/HESSE.html Secondly, please be aware that the RootsWeb computer system which operates the list does not accept any forms of attachment files in list posts. These are automatically removed by the system for all RootsWeb operated mailing lists. If you wish to share detailed data with others, you will need to use private, off-list email or perhaps consider posting your information to a Web page which others may visit.
