Hello, I just received a copy of an obituary in the German newspaper called Delphos Kleeblatt in Delphos Ohio. I don't read German and I am trying to make out a town name. If anyone could be so kind to help me, I'd really appreciate any help. It gives the date of birth then im Ronigreidge Bayern. There are two dots over the o.The last two letters could be ye instead of ge. I know Bayern means Bavaria. Is this a town name? I have a German atlas but cannot find it listed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the place where my great great grandfather was born. I have searched for many years and all I can find is Bavaria as the place of birth. Thank you, Janet

Hi all, This is my first posting. I am seeking information on one Margaretha BAUNACH married to Johannes RIES on 28 May 1821 in Werbach Baden. >From information I have received she is from Limbacher Hof (marriage record in Baden) and that their son Franciscus BAUNACH or RIES (my ggg/father - emigrated to Australia with his wife and daughter on "Marbs" 1854/1855) was born on 06 Jan 1821 in Kleinrinderfeld. The info I am seeking is how to locate the records for Limbacher Hof and/or Kleinrinderfeld. Any assistance would be appreciated.

You'd probably have better luck if you posted this to the Baden-Wurttemberg mailing list. Bavaria is close, but the B-W list covers the area containing the old Grand Duchy of Baden (and the Kingdom of Wurttemberg).

It s mostly a fact. Oldest sons became the fathers name Thomas

What you mean is the so called Ruhrpot. I cant believe that this could be tranformed into Ruhr valley. But may be. Thomas

hi Michele, be sure that there doesnt exist any valley in Germany. We say Tal. So that could mean, you are looking for Rottal /Inn. Hope this helps. Thomas

Hello Claire, This is very interesting! Could be the connection. It is likely this George's father was also George. Don't have a clue yet to mother's name. Thank you for sending this..

Michelle, It is called Ruhr Valley, it still exists. It is an industrial area, steel, coal ect. Try searching under that name!

Hi, I found this listing ----date not the same, but I'm wondering about the town-- George Becker Male Event(s): Birth: 09 NOV 1717 Poppenreuth, Mittelfranken, Bayern Parents: Father: George Becker Family Mother: Anna Fleischauer Another thought it might be a misspelling of the Ruhr Valley, but that is an area not a town. Claire in Howell, NJ Michele Baker wrote: > Researching George BAKER/BECKER family. George BAKER (spelled BAKER upon>

Researching George BAKER/BECKER family. George BAKER (spelled BAKER upon arrival in Philadelphia about 1750) is said to be of Bavarian descent, born in 1714 in Ruth Valley, Germany. Can anyone tell me where to find Ruth Valley? I Does this town/village still exit? Regards, Michele

Hello, I am searching for a family whose anglecized name is Baker. I am guessing in German it would be Becker. >From the United States censuses, they were born in Baden, "Old Bavaria," Germany, and "Rein Bier." (I have seen the last place on several other families places of birth, although no one seems to know just where it was.) They might have been from a small village of Storchhof. Johann Becker, b. June 21, 1781, widow by 1850 Conrad Becker, b. 1817, widow by 1850 Heinrich Becker, b. March 6, 1818 Mary Anna Walter(s), b. March 8, 1821 (was Heinrich's wife by 1850) Catherine, b. April 2, 1846 (either a Becker or Walter(s), child of Mary Anna and Heinrich) John Becker, b. about 1825 Catherine, b. in Germany, but do not have a birth name, the younger John's wife by 1850 There is a fourth brother, whose name might be Michael. I have heard he also was married. They would have left Germany after April 2, 1846, and had arrived in the United States by October 1848 when Heinrich and Mary Anna's second child was born. If anyone has any information on this family, I would appreciate hearing from you. I am willing to share what I have on this family in the United States. Thank you. Mary Gramelspacher

I was able to use one via interlibrary loan. It was available clear out here in Colorado.

does anyone have Pennsylvania German Pioneers, a book on the arrival of Germans through Phil from 1727 to 1808?

Hi, if you have a look at my emigrant list (see URL below), you will see but one Joseph Dotzler, who emigrated in 1848. He could have been related. best regards Reinhard Hofer visit my list at: www.emigration-research.de.vu updated names of emigrants from Bavaria of period 1830 - 1914.
