Hi LC. I found a Robert Winter who emigrated in 1857 with wife Creszentia Winter nee Bruder and child Robert Winter born 1857. The family is from the village of Schwarzach which belongs to the city of Rheinmünster. Today Rheinmünster-Schwarzach. Take a look at www.rheinmuenster.de The former Canadian Air Force Base Soellingen is close by, nowdays it is Baden-Airport. I guess this must be right family. Wow, taking a small baby like that along was really risky.

August 2008 18:58 An: BADEN-WURTTEMBERG@rootsweb.com Betreff: [BW] Robert WINTER immigrated from Baden, Germany I would like to find out more about my 3rd great grandfather, Robert WINTER b. 1826 in Germany.   The census records all state he immigrated from Baden, Germany.  He was married to a Louisa b. Bet. 1836 - 1837 (maiden name unknown) before 1857 as the first child was born by then.  Their first child, also named Robert was b. 1857.  All 3 immigrated to America and show up in Cook Co. Illinois for the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. If anyone knows of what records I should search or knows about the family, please let me know what to do.  I am quite good at researching in America, but overseas I dont know what I'm doing.  Thanks for any help, LC ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BADEN-WURTTEMBERG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
