My Schelli family came from Urloffen, Offenburg, Baden. I have marriage, death and birth records. I also have emigration records for Franziska, Kaspar, and Helena. On this index the last place of residence is listed as Appenweier. If Appenweier is a municipality, what is it in relation to Urloffen? Helena and Franziska emigrated in 1854; Kaspar in 1866; each declared that they were meeting an older sister in the States, who emigrated before they. Franziska was the oldest daughter of this set of parents; however there were several older half sisters. I have never been able to find the "Older Sister" who emigrated before the others. Just throwing this in for good measure.

Wanda, Since 1975 Urloffen is integrated into the larger municipality Appenweier. The emigration data base obviously uses the modern political administration units for describing the places. For your Helene Schelli the emigration data base gives after cklicking on the outer left column for more details: Emigrant identification 286646 Title First name Helene Last name Schelli Second name Last place of residence Appenweier District Urloffen This says: Helene Schelli comes from Urloffen, a district of (modern) 'Appenweier'.
