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.
