I've posted before on these folks, with a different query. My March (Moerz/Mörz) line begins with Carl and Christina [sic] and 3 sons: Carl as oldest, b. 1849. They came on the Redwood, May 17 1854 and are listed as from Bavière, but later in the US I find Wirttenburg, Württemberg, or any number of spellings. They are my gggrandparents. My questions are: Would Carl have been the exact spelling of his name in place of origin? Could it have been Karl? He was born 1817, d. 1884. His wife's name was Christina in some records, but others say something similar to Christiannia. What would have been the German spelling at that time? She was born 1828, d. 1890. Her place of birth is listed as the same. Would either of the daughters have had one of the mother's names? (I know their names) People have helped before on this list, and genealogy work in euros is now pretty expensive, especially if one tries to wire the money. I'm almost despairing of finding the place of origin of these people. Kathleen March
