Hello All, I am new to this site and trying to pull together family history on my gg grandfather Leonhard Glassbrenner, he also used the name Leonard Glassbrenner. He was born September 13, 1860 in the Baden-Wurttemberg region. One of my cousin mentioned he spoke of family living in Mannheim, Germany. He immigrated in 1888 and became naturalized in 1907. He married my gg Grandmother, Katherina Karoline Rath born April 26, 1867 in Koningsbronn, Germany (I do have information on the Rath side of the family.) They married sometime between 1888 and 1892, not sure where?? They first settled in Wabasha, Mn, then moved to Eau Claire, WI in 1893 and lived there until his death in 1930. Any thoughts here??? Thanks for your help.... Betty

I hope not to impose too much on the good will of the group by asking yet another simple question: I can locate ancestors and the films of various sorts, but it is not clear to me whether the films offer more information than what I already have. eg, I have the following, for a gguncle, whom I have also found as a major in the Civil War (this is one of 3 young children who arrived in 1854 with their parents): Name: Fred March Residence: Rochester, Monroe, New York Birth date: 1851 Birth place: Germany Relationship to head-of-household: Other Spouse name: Spouse birth place: Father name: Father birth place: Germany Mother name: Mother birth place: Germany Race or color (expanded): White Ethnicity: American Gender: Male Marital status: Single Age: 29 years Occupation: Bar Tender NARA film number: T9-0863 Page: 159 Page letter: A Entry number: 14 Film number: 1254863 Collection: 1880 United States Census Would it do any good to order a film? The same question goes for requesting the films for ship passenger lists. If I have already found the image online, does the film add anything to it? Kathleen March
