Thanks Dorothy. It was a pleasure to do it for you, and a learning experience for me. I will be working on Joel's next and will post it when it is finished also with a comparison. Thanks to both of you for allowing me to use your fotos. My Mother did scanned and corrected all the fotos on her website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nilajean/ Most of the fotos were the old tins and to the naked eye looked mostly black! But after she scanned them and manipulated them in Photoshop, they turned out wonderful! I have been working in graphics and photography for years and my Mother got her first computer just 5 years ago! She puts me to shame!!!

Pamela, Do you think you could enhance a very faded word written across the matting of an old photo? Just curious.... By the way, you did a nice job on these other photos. -Kay > http://www.palettemasters.com/Roots/

The only way to find out is to contact each church for their records. :-) Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon Galitz" <shgalitz@yahoo.com> It appears there is more than one Catholic church in Gunzburg and I wonder which one they would have attended.

The following chart shows the five major U.S. ports of entry on the Atlantic coast: Port Passengers Lists Indexes New York 24.0 M 1820-1957 1820-1846, 1897-1948 Boston 2.0 M 1820-1943 1848-1891, 1902-1920 Baltimore 1.5 M 1820-1948 1820-1952 Philadelphia 1.2 M 1800-1945 1800-1948 New Orleans 0.7 M 1820-1945 1853-1952 The second column shows the number of passengers, in millions, that arrived at each port between 1820 and 1920. The main ports from Europe were Hamburg and Bremen in Germany, Goteborg in Sweden, Antwerp in Belgium, Le Havre and Bordeau in France, Rotterdam and Textel Island in The Netherlands, London in England, and Ireland. Passenger Arrival Indexes, NYC, through LDS-FHC libraries: Alphabetical Index 1820-1846, National Archives Microfiche M261 (103 rolls). 1820-1897 M237. 16 Jun 1897 thru 30 Jun 1902 T519 (115 rolls). 1897-1924 T715. 01 Jul 1902 thru 31 Dec 1943 T621 (755 rolls). 1924-1932 T715. 1932-1957 T715 (5219-8892) No index for the years 1847-1896. Soundex Index 1944-1948 M1417 (94 rolls). 1854 through 1882 saw high levels of German emigration. During this time period Hamburg and Bremen were the ports most frequently used. The LDS genealogy library has a book for those who emigrated from Hessen-Nassau. It is otherwise out of print. It is known, in the German, as Band IV, Die Auswanderung aus dem Herzogtum Nassau (1806-1866), Wolf-Heino Struck. Franz Steiner Verlag GMBH Wiesbaden, 1966. That translates to: Volume 4, The Emigration from the Duchy of Hessen-Nassau (1806-1866), compiled by Wolf-Heino Struck. Published by Franz Steiner Verlag GMBH in Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1966. LDS Microfiche number 6001623 or Book Call number-location 943.41, Salt Lake City, Utah. Search by author or title. In many cases a company or an individual posted articles in town halls, at the town square, and newspapers, advertising passage to North America (Canada and the USA). Emigrants could sign up as a group, or as a family, or as an individual. In many cases those who made it to a stopover in England remained there, or later journeyed on to the USA. Stopovers were London, Hull, and some ended up going overland or by boat to ports for Ireland. Usually, the company or individual organizing the voyage required emigrants to use certain ports - the ones where he profited the most. See http://germanroots.home.att.net/1709palatines for an example of ship travel while the USA was still a colony of Great Britain. Up until 1861 a cotton market flourished between Louisiana and various European locations. Shiploads of cotton arrived usually at Le Havre, and then on the return voyage they carried a shipload of emigrants. In some cases the Le Harve to New Orleans route detoured to drop emigrants off in Baltimore, then continued on to Louisiana.

Hello list, My Bavarian ancestors lived in the villages of Nornheim, Reisensburg and Hochwang in the 1700 and 1800s. This should be Gunzburg parish, I believe. It appears there is more than one Catholic church in Gunzburg and I wonder which one they would have attended. My husband and I will be in Gunzburg in October and it would be wonderful if I knew I was taking photos of the correct church. Any suggestions, Sharon in Surprise, Arizona __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Don, Thanks for your offer to assist. On the 1900 US census, the MEIDENBAUER family reported that husband, George; wife, Margaret; and three sons, Jacob, George, and John immigrated to the US in 1882. On the 1920 census, their American born son, Frank, reported that his parents place of birth was Bavaria. Their Declaration of Intent was dated, October 13th 1884. I fully agree that information providers should be compensated for their efforts. The users should support the museums. I seek to spend my money wisely. Thanks for offering to research the primary ports. What is your information source as I have many others than the MEIDENBAUER family that I would gladly research independently?

Kay, We may have covered this terrain before, but did your Bavarian ancestor UNHOEFER come to Wisconsin... Washington County.....Menomonee Falls (city/village?) area by chance? One of my BACHHUBER's from Dodge County, WI, married an UMHOEFER back in the 1800's. Also, a high school friend of mine had next-door neighbors named UMHOEFER in Menomonee Falls.

Ok everyone! I need an old foto......one that is in need of repair! I am trying to work on my foto manipulation skills ( can't let my Mother out do me!!) and I figured I may as well fix someone's old foto while I am doing this! So if you have an old foto of Oma or Opa with scratches or a crack across it..... scan it at a high resolution (the higher the better!) and email it to me at pamela@burntmail.com (zip the file if it is over 5 megs please) First come first serve!!! :-) Thanks!

Thanks Peggy!! It is nice to know. I have travelled all over Southern Germany looking in old churches and graveyards! And I know that it is not easy....so I never thought twice about posting the museum site just because they charged 15. or 30. I would have Gladly paid that had there been something like that when I was knee deep in old records books!!! LOL WHOEVER thought looking up your roots was just a hobby NEVER did it!!! It is a time consuming and tedious job! But the rewards are wonderful!! When you find a matching name and date, it makes you smile all day long!!! Oh yes, For those of you who may have these names in your tree (see below) my Mother has a website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nilajean/ that she is trying to identify some old fotos found in a box from her Ggrandmother. (click on Unidentified Photos) She did a great job scanning the old tin pictures!! I am still amazed with her abilities in Photoshop!

And when I need something in the US, I either go home to visit or call and ask my Mother. :-) I travel with a laptop, digital camera and a scanner, everywhere I go, so I can scan pages of old books in churches that have no copy machines! It has been a wonderful way to spend a few years in Europe and see things that I never would have seen otherwise.

I am curious to learn whether Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam or some others would be the most appropriate for searching. With limited funds, I do not know where to spend my money most efficiently.

I am sorry... I was not aware that was not allowed to post any sites that charge for their services. I do not know or promote the site. I only was aware that the museum had just been open a couple of months and they had a data base with a lot of information, and I assumed that people would want to know. I think 15 or 30 euro is not much when you look at the time it takes to go through those old books, make copies and post them to people. But I will refrain from posting sites like this in the future.

Hello Dorothy, I will see if I can find a phone number for Herr Bach and give him a phone call for you. If he has any records on Conrad Harms (es) , then I will ask my cousin who lives closer to that area to get copies of them for you. :-) We can post them to you should we find anything. Hope this helps. With kind regards, Pamela (sorry, I don't fill out request forms) From: Dorothy J. Gard Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 4:58 AM Subject: Conrad HARMS - Altenmarhorst Hi Pamela, I have just been comparing a map I have with your circle of possible searches and think maybe my ggrandfather's area might be included. Conrad Harms(es) was born in 1830 in Altenmarhorst which I understand now is part of Twistringen in the county of Diepholz now in Niedersachsen. He applied for naturalization here in 1852 but I have not been able to find when he emigrated from Germany or his parentage. I was told several years ago that Mr. Otto Bach has been the honorary town archivist of Twistringen for many years but he has no email address listed. I did have a telephone number for him but with my poor German and hearing problems, I didn't feel I could talk with him. Do you think you could help me in any way? I would much appreciate your thoughts and comments. I am a "senior citizen" from PA, have been doing my husband's English line for many, many years but am now struggling with my own German line. Regards, Dorothy Gard
