Marvin, it would be very nice if you could have a loook at the records for me! Most of all, I would be interested in anyone with the surname Granacher, including the variations Gränacher (Graenacher), Grönacher (Groenacher), Grünacher (Gruenacher). Other names I am looking for during that period of time are: Baumgartner, Clauser, von Roth, Boller. I also have numerous ancestors by the very common name Maier. If there are any Maier/Mayer entries from either Hohentengen or Herdern, that would also be very interesting. Thank you very much!

That don't mean that there is nothing there, only that I have never had a need to look. I have been looking up names for people for several years and have answered more than a hundred requests. Not many of these 32,000 records are of much genealogical value but there are some that are a gold mine of information. Often, I can steer someone to a town or two where there surname shows up occasionally in the records. If you send me the surnames of interest to you, I will look them up for you. Marin Hoerig From: <rene.granacher@dlh.de> To: <baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 3:47 AM Subject: Re: [BW] Schlageter emigration Marvin, you seem to have access to complete information on the Rastatt prisoners during the 1848 revolution in Baden. Are these lists accessible anywhere on the internet? I would be highly interested to find out about any prisoners by the name of Granacher. My family is from the Waldshut area and may well have been involved in the revolutionary activities in some way.

Unfortunately, they are from nearly that many different towns. It would have been nice to find most from the same town, giving you a good place to search for your Mathias. Information on all 25 is very limited - - there are even three that have no given names listed. There is one Mathä Schlageter (male) listed from Lienheim, Waldshut, Baden but there is no age given in his record. No occupation listed either but it says he was incarcerated in 1848 for "highly treasonous activities". Is it possible that your Mathias, (who named one of his sons Joseph) could have had a brother Joseph or perhaps his father was a Joseph. There are three Josef Schlageters listed and again, no ages for any of them. Do you have any other given names that I might check for you ? I find that the vast majority of the 32,000 prisoners were, (when ages were listed) in their 20 so that makes your Mathias a good candidate for a visit to the stockade. Nearly all these 25 Schlageters were from small towns fairly close to a line between Frieburg and Waldshut. I doubt that this is much help but it narrows down the search area in Baden. If you like, I can send you a list of the towns of residence listed for all these Schlageters. Marvin Hoerig [BW] Schlageter emigration > Marvin, > No I don't.
