Hi, I played around some more with Philippe GERRHARD and found one born 1764 (people do make mistakes when recording info) in Saint-Nicholas, Levis, Quebec. Unfortunately, no parents given. Info from www.familysearch.org I realize that the birth place is not the same as the one you have. It's curious, though, that it's the same church he was married in! More mysteries to solve. Again, Good Luck, Beth ARNOTT ----- Original Message ----- From: "maurice girard" <mauricegirard@cgocable.ca> To: <BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:24 PM Subject: [BAVARIA] Heinrich Philipp Gerhardt I am looking for the birth date and the parents' name of my ancestor H.P.

Hello I am seeking information on my 3rd great-grandfather Johann Wolfgang PEEZ (Petz, Peez, Patz) master-weaver at Wuestenselbitz, and of his wife Katharina Barbara, (DAEGELMANN), of Doebra, Their son was Johnn Nikol PEEZ, born at Wuestenselbitz, in the District of Muenchberg, on the Seventh [17th] day of March Eighteen hundred and thirty two [1832], The family migrated to USA on or about 1842 If any of looks family please contact Don Darwin at _Dddarwin@AOL.com_ (mailto:Dddarwin@AOL.com) – Thank you

I forgot to mention one more thing about my Anton KUHN. I have another source that says that Anton was the chief of forest police in the forest of Leubenstein. I am not sure if this is the same as a Game warden. Does anyone know? Thank you again. Kathy kalobi@comcast.net

I am also looking for my KUHN ancestors in Bavaria. Louis KUHN was born 12 January 1827 in Neustadt am Main and had 2 sisters, Elizabeth and Anna, and a brother, John. Their parents were Anton KUHN and Barbara SCHMITT. I believe that Anton was a Game Warden for the Duke of Lowenstein. Louis KUHN came to the USA in 1849 settling in (Williamsburg) Brooklyn NY. His brother, John, and sister, Elizabeth (married Frank Auth), came to the United States also. I would like to find out more about Anton and his ancestors. I know the Bavarian records were not allowed to be filmed by the LDS Church. So other than going to Bavaria or hiring someone to do the research, are there any other options available to me for searching for my KUHNs? Does anyone else out there have these KUHNs in their lines. Thank you for any help you can give me. Kathy kalobi@comcast.net

Hi Mary, Try the link below. I found a Franz Anton KUHN, born in Schneeburg, Unterfranken, Bavaria in 1823. As the Germans were masters at mixing up their names, maybe he went by Anton.

> I checked Rausch on Ancestry.com today. I did not find any Rausch family in the immigration records that seemed likely. The handwriting on the documents was quite bad, so it was hard to be sure. It is possible that the writing in the church records was hard to decipher and the word the secretary wrote as "Bruckenan" might have been something entirely different.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list but not new to genealogy. One branch of my family tree remains frustratingly short. Has anyone run across the name KUTHER in their research? Johan KUTHER was born in Bavaria in 1814 and came to America around 1848. He married Anna FELDER from Switzerland. They lived in Belgium, Ozaukee County, WI. What I'd love to learn is: What town was Johan KUTHER born in? What town was Anna FELDER born in? Were Johan KUTHER and Anna FELDER married in the US? Any help is greatly appreciated! You seem like a great group and I'm glad to be a part of it. Julie (from Colorado)

Ray, This is what I have: John Geyer - spouse Catherine Kapler. Their son was John James Geyer born January 1845 in Bavaria (exact town as yet to be learned). He was a tanner/bootmaker. He married Rose Foneur (I'm not sure of the spelling) who was born in Switzerland. They had my grandfather John Francis Geyer who was born in Kimmelsbach on November 28th, 1877 (or so). Naturalization papers say that my Grandfather came to the US (Boston) 1879. He also had several sisters. Does any of this sound like your Geyer line? Walter told me that Kimmelsbach is now part of Bundorf and I see from the map that Bundorf is only 2 hours away from Frankfort.

Hi Jackie Reading your mail last week I was sure the place can only be Bad Brueckenau in the diocese of Wuerzburg. What I found in the archives there was this: Caspar Rausch, son of Nicolaus Rausch and Caecilia Moeller was born May 8, 1793, in Brueckenau and got married at least three times. He was a landlord running a sort of restaurant in Brueckenau Nr. 102. His first wife was Theresia Ebert. He must have had at least one child with her. On January 6, 1838 he married Josepha Schmitt (sine corona), a carpenters daughter;who had a child with him before marriage (because of this "sine corona", married without veil), Barbara Amalia, born 15 January 1836, who was legitimized by subsequent mariage. The next child, Maria Theresia was born January 14, 1939 and is the second child (girl) in second mariage. (So it is written.) "Anonyma" was born 2nd January 1842 was baptized in extremis by the midwife. If she survived this might be Elisabeth, but written is anonyma. The mother was Margaretha Theresia Halbleib and this must be his third mariage. (written: first child first girl from third marriage) Augusta Theresa Friederike was baptized around 1845 and Georg Anton 1847. I have not found any Elisabeth. But going to USA, Maria Theresia, for example, can have changed her first name. This was not unusual. For sure she did not emigrate on her own being only 7 years of age. Can you not find any of these other names on the ship when they emigrated? I hope this helps. This man, Caspar Rausch, is the only one with this name in that place for centuries. Even later the name is not found any more. So I am quite sure he is the father of Elisabeth.

Dear Margaret and Randy, If there is more German script which you cannot make out, a good solution is to contact a local high school, college or university and see if they have an experiecend German-speaking person on staff. Or even a student. Also, try your local Family History Center (also known as LDS). Another avenue is a local genealogy group and/or a historical society. You never know where you may find a person who could help you out. Good Luck!
