Hi again There is also an Anna Elisabeth Eisinger born in Neckarhausen 28 Jan 1842 again on family search. Could this be your ancester? Do you have a age from the census records? They may be other Anna Elisabeth Eisinger's in this area that are not on familyseearch.org. I have many of the films for the 51 villages in the Nürtingen district.

He is there. I happen to have most of the Neckarhausen films on loan. There are also Eisinger in this area. District of Nürtingen. I can look for a marriage next time I'm at the Family History Center. Kent In a message dated 8/28/2008 9:44:43 AM Eastern Daylight Time, neallfamily@gmail.com writes: Eric, Thank you! That could explain why I could never find him in the census - I knew he had to be there. I can't get on Heritage Quest right now to confirm, but it seems right. Also, I can't find a Johann Carl Sterr on familysearch.org - but there are other Sterrs (Johann Jacob) from Neckarhausen. What am I doing wrong? I really appreciate your help.
