Hi Cathy, >I have always thought that it was possible that Leonhard?s family had settled in Hungary in the early part of the 18th century - particularly since Leonhard did not pass through Vienna. The emigrants mostly passed Vienna, but before 1750 there was no continuously registration. >My fellow researcher says he spoke to a priest at the Tevel church who confirmed that there were? no records for this time period.?? Henry Fischer has told me that the church in Tevel was built in the 1720's, and he said that the Tevel book does not indicate that records are missing. I agree to Henry: no time period in Tevel is missing, all microfilms are at SLC: see http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=438289&disp=Anyak%C3%B6nyvek++ I agree to follow all leads to all Teufels - but it is worth to follow the wifes too - may be you get valuable hints for further research for your Teufels. earlier you wrote: > Has anyone on this list ever used Die mainfrankische Auswanderung nach Ungarn und den Oesterr. Erblaendern im 18. Jahrhundert von Alfons Prenzinger?
