Thank you so much for volunteering to look up some names in the index. I am a descendant of two German immigrants. They came to the USA in the mid-1850s. I did not know about this index before but would be very interested if they appear in the index. I have listed a father, his 3 sons, and 2 son-in-laws below. Their last name is spelled different ways. It could be Thraen, Thren, or even Thrain. Joseph Thraen b. 1795 Christopher John Thraen - b 1823 Johan Thraen b - 1826 Francis Thraen - b 1829 Michael Francis Germann - b in the 1830s most likely Valentin Kuebler not sure of birth day but in the 1830s most likely if not 1840s Thank you once again for your generosity! Jim
