Hi, Just thought it might be useful to someone to have this information as it might be a common route taken to America... Issued at Weinsberg 18 June 1856 by the Royal Wurttenberg Chief Magistrate: All the In and Foreign Civil and Military Authorities are requested to grant Elisabetha Herble born and presently residing at EBERSTADT, which on the 19th of this month will depart from there, by and through WURTTENBERG over HAVRE via KOLN (COLOGNE) for her emigration to North America; that when, at GUNDELSHEIM will leave the Kingdom, has an unrestricted passage to her stated destination.

I cannot figure out where the records would be for Billingshausen, Bavaria. My relatives lived there in the early 1800s. I would like to order a microfilm from LDS, but I'm not familiar with how to find this information. I know about the LDS site -- the city does not show up in the search. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,

Hi, Seeking information on JOHN KREMHELLER, who, I believe, was born in Munich on November 8, 1874. He came to Rochester, New York in the very late l800's. It was said that he was an orphan, but had a half brother living in the United States. There are only 38 Kremhellers listed in the German phone books, so hopefully, one of them will be a connection to my grandfather. He also was a Catholic, while in Munich. Is there a church archive in Munich which could be searched? Thanks! Valera D'Esopo valeraeliz@cs.com

Yes the huge wine barrel is in Heidleberg. I have a picture of my husband and I in front of it. We were there in May 1995. I do not recall the name of the place where the huge wine barrel was. We went to several places that day around the city.

Does anyone know what was happened with a dead ship passenger? Burial at see? Has anyone a idea if there is any death record for that persons somewhere available? I have the passenger list of ROSENHAUER William (Wilhelm) and there is only written (died). The ship was arriving at Baltimore 07 June 1853 (ship Bessel from Bremen). Because there were no other informations for him on the list (no age, no birth place or destination) I think he was travelling alone. Help? Regards and thanks Tanja __________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Gesendet von Yahoo! Mail - http://mail.yahoo.de Yahoo!

A must see: Had to share Churches from all over the world found at http://community-1.webtv.net/lhbuehler/INDEXFANTASTICSITES/ Lists of churches from every country abroad and the United States. Unbelievable information.

At least under the "census", only 1938 (emphasis on Jews) Bavaria is available through the Family History Centers. No listing for 1875. W. David Samuelsen
