Max, I can certainly understand the cautiousness. Many of my family gave such conflicting dates, it took years to sort it all out. Some didn't even know their own ages or birthdates! Death certs are notorious for inaccurate information if not backed up with other sources. The person giving information at the time of death often guessed or repeated family stories. I hope your trip is fruitful. Church records can be of great help if available. I noticed on the LDS site there were many of that surname, and almost all came from Pfalz. I am originally from Minnesota, but have called Denver home since 1969.

Hallo, In der in Iowa, USA herausgegebenen Zeitung "Ostfriesische Nachrichten" fand ich folgenden Artikel: "Golden, Ill., 23. Mai 1927 Unerwartet schnell wurde Frau Sophia Müller, geb. Eber, am 10. Mai vom Tode abgerufen. Sie war am 16. Januar 1847 in Bayern geboren und kam im Jahre 1869 von drüben gleich nach hier, wo sie sich am 8. März 1870 mit Heiko Müller aus Ochtelbur, Ostfr., verheiratete. Sie wohnten immer in der Nähe auf der Farm und seit 15 Jahren in Golden, wo ihr Mann am 20. August 1920 starb. Vor 7 Monaten ging auch ihre Tochter und Stütze, Frl. Barbara Müller, ihr im Tode voran, und sie zog wieder, da sie leidend war, zu ihrer Tochter, Frau Janssen, auf die Farm. Es betrauern ihren Tod fünf Kinder: Georg und Heinrich Müller, Frau Lena Janssen von hier, Klaus Müller in Gothenburg, Nebr., Frau Susanna Martens in Ingham. Nebr." Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Hans-Georg Boyken Titonka, Iowa 50480-0269, USA

Hi, Thanks for explaining and for the correction. It IS a good site. Because my key boarding skills are not what they should be and because my fingers are old and bump other keys I have a trick to help.

Hi Richard, If you have not already done so, it could be productive for you to obtain a copy of the actual manifest itself from NARA (National Archives and Records Administration). Many times, the manifest can give you additional information such as last place of residence. Other passengers names may ring a bell for you, or give clues to the places of origin of them. He could be grouped with other passengers from the same area. Go to: http://www.archives.gov/<http://www.archives.gov/> and from the pull down list in the upper right corner, click on "How Do I?" Scroll down to "Ship Passenger Arrival Records" which will direct you as to how to order the manifest you need. You can do it on line or by requesting the form and mailing it in at a later time. You didn't say where he settled or what his religion was. If you know of a parish he attended, they may have information about where he came from as the churches often recorded this information. Marriage or birth/christening records often identified the place the party originated from, or at times the last parish they attended in the homeland. Good luck with your search.

A while ago I asked a question concerning Obersinn, Bavaria. A couple of months ago I received a post from a man who lived there and told me there was one cemetery in Obersinn and it did contain headstones of HOFMANN. (Which is my family line) He was kind enough to offer to take pictures. Well, that was the end of it, never heard from him again. I asked for the name of the cemetery and he wouldn't answer me. So, I'm asking for help. Does anyone on list live in the Obersinn area? Would you know the name of the cemetery that I could write to them? (He did say it was Catholic and Lutheran )? or Catholic and something else. I'm actually planning a trip within the next year and I really would like to cover some ground work before I leave NY. I need the nearest airport to Obersinn. Is there a tourism area that deals with the town? In the states, we have what's called a "Chamber of Commerce" or a Historic Society if the town is old. Is there one for Obersinn? Can anyone recommend hotels in the area or the town itself? Thanks so much. You may contact me off list. Nancy

My ancestor, George Wing, lived in Zweibrucken near Homburg that I understand is near the Alsace, French border. I wanted to order films from the family history center for Homburg in hopes of finding the Wings but did not know what to order as there were several Homburgs along with the name of what I assume is a district, region, or state after it. I tried to figure it out myself by looking at maps but wasn't successful as that area apparently changed a lot over the years. So, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me in figuring out the proper film to order. Many thanks, Ruth Ruth

Hi all, I am new to the list, so please excuse me if I don't spell all the German words correctly. I have a Theresa Weiss born October 12, 1860 Alteglofsheim (sp?) Bavaria, Germany. Died Sept. 06, 1943 in Wayne Co., Michigan, USA. Her parents are a Joseph and Anna Weiss. No dates or other info on the parents She married a Joseph Lemke born March 14, 1857-June 16, 1937. It was Joseph's second marriage and Theresa's. Theresa was also married to a surname Guetner and had six children. Theresa and Joseph are buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Detroit., Michigan. Lorie

John, Sorry. I realized tonight I hadn't responded to you request for help. I will be happy to look for specific records for you, but not for every instance of Merkle, Heilman and Mehring. There will be just far too many. Perhaps you can look at familysearch.org and let me know which records you'd like. I will not be returning to the FHC very soon. I'll be traveling for a while. They are holding on to the film for me, however, and I should be able to return to my research before the end of April. My FHC is nearly an hour and a half a way. Time is more critical to me than the cost of the copies Please e-mail me directly and not through the list.
