Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to researching in this area. I am looking for any information that can help me go back to find out more about where my family came from before Mramorak. I have discovered Franzfeld but have no idea what resources may be available - are there church books for Franzfeld. I have ordered David Kemle's books (thank you David!!) and am very excited to learn more of the history of the area and the people. In the meantime, here is what I know: Adam Kaschuba is the son of Andreas Kaschuba (born 1813, died 10 Feb 1853) and Magdalena Wagner (no dates or locations) (Mramorak Church Book, Births 1827-1866). Adam was born on 27 Jan 1848 in Mramorak. On 11 Nov 1869 Adam Kaschuba, son of deceased resident, Andreas Kaschuba from Franzfeld married Katharina (born 15 Jan 1850 in Mramorak) in Franzfeld (Mramorak Church Book, Mramorak Marriages). Katharina is the daughter of Peter Bert (no dates or locations) and Christina born Dapper (no dates or locations) who were married 3 Jan 1837 in Mramorak (Mramorak Church Book, Mramorak Marriages). Peter is the son of Daniel Bert (no dates or locations). Christina is the daughter of Nikolaus Dapper (no dates or locations). Thanks for your help. Karen
