Hi fellow Bavaria genealogy researchers, - A *friendly reminder* to posters on this list. - The List Owner has made it crystal clear in the past that rollcalls, and specifically the use of "rollcall" in the subject line, is *strictly prohibited*. I mention this because some list members, especially recent joiners, may not know or remember that. That being said, postings such as the recent ones using "rollcall" in the subject line were not necessarily rollcalls (usually a long list of names being researched) since they include additional information for other listmembers to work with in helping the writer. Therefore, the use of "rollcall" in the subject line could have and by rule should have been avoided. Lots of good things are happening on this list, so keep up the interesting requests and replies!

This is what I have... My great grandfather was Johann Erhardt Schobert (b. 1869 in Kirchenlamitz, Bayern) to Georg Christof Schobert (b. 1826 in Kirchenlamitz, Bayern) and Anna Margareth ??? (possibly Schobert, too) (b. 1830 in Thierstein, Bayern). Georg Christof was born to Johann Christian Schobert (b. 1795 in Kirchenlamitz, Bayern) and Eva Barbara Moll (b. 1795 in Pilgramsreuth, ?) Johann Christian was born to Johann Simon Schobert (b. 1749 in Kirchenlamitz, Bayern) and Margarete Steffel (b. 1755 in Kirchenlamitz, Bayern). My great grandmother was Augusta Wilhelmine Loeffler (b. 1868 in Nieder-Planitz, Sachsen to Johann Gottlieb Loeffler (b. 1822 in Planitz or Zwickau, Sachsen) and Johanne Christiana Troeger (b. 1828 in Haertendorf, Sachsen). Johann Gottlieb was born to Carl Friedrich Loeffler and Johanne Chistiane Sonntag.

Pat, I just started reading "The Lost German Slave Girl" yesterday and find it a wonderful description of the experiences one faced in crossing the Atlantic. My ancestors travel about fifty years before the Slave Girl who came in 1818 to New Orleans, but I'm sure the trips had much in common. Good read!

I would like to second Pat's recommendation of Bailey's book, The Lost German Slave Girl. It first drew my interest because it was set in the German community of New Orleans in the 1840's, where most of my immigrant ancestors lived. I felt the book gave me insight into their lives during the immigration process, as well as in 19th century New Orleans. Bailey also presented a great deal of information on the realities of life under the Southern slave laws. The impact they had on the situation of the "German slave girl" of the title were surprisingly complex. The book is a history, rather than fiction, and seems to be well researched and documented. But many of the events are related in such a vivid fashion, the book seems more like a well-plotted novel.

Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Eingabe. for your last name I tried it with Ja Auch Ahnliche namen suchen and I got some answers. Perhaps your family's name got changed coming over, they americanized it or they were german ethnically but before they came to the US, they lived in Poland or Lithuania and the name spelling changed there.

Hi Researchers, I'm just starting to look for my JOSEPH PLENDL (1850-1931) in Germany. He immigrated to Dane Co. Wisc. in1869 from Regensburg, Bavaria according to ship record. By 1878 he and wife JOSEPHINE KNABL moved to Plymouth Co. Iowa. According to family members he was adopted by the Plendl family. The oldest member of that family in America came form STRAUBING. Question: Any suggestions where I might find Straubing Church records? I ordered the only Family History Tapes I could find, but they are for directories. Any help would be appreciated. JoAnn

Hello to all...... I am searching for Johann Adam Hofzapel who married Catherina Bauer on 3 May 1757 in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. I know of a daughter, Margaretha (b. 5 Feb 1772 in Stockstadt, d. 20 Jan 1838 in Stockstadt). Margaretha married Johann Adam Mueller (b. 10 Sep 1751 in Stockstadt, d. 1838). They had 5 children: Lorenz (b. 28 Sep 1795), Joseph (b. 29 Oct 1797), Magdelena (b. 21 Mar 1799), Margaretha (b. 23 Jan 1801), and Johann (b. 30 Jan 1804). All the children were born in Stockstadt. Lorenz Mueller married Maria Anna Helm (b. 19 Mar 1802 on Oburnburg, Miltenburg, Bavaria, d. 28 Apr 1846 in Stockstadt) on 27 Jul 1820 in Stockstadt. Their daughter, Sophie (b. 25 Jul 1826 in Stockstadt, d. bef 1905 in Philadelphia, Pa.). Sophie married Henry Wienand (b. 1821 in Leider, Aschaffenberg, Bavaria, d. 2 Feb 1890 in Philadelphia, Pa.) on 5 Jan 1849 in Leider. They are my gg grandparents. Maria Anna Helm was the d/o Balthasar Helm (b. 1770 in Oburnberg) and Magdelena Schnabel. I would love to find some new cousins. Barbara in Wilmington, NC "I've never met a tombstone I couldn't relate to....."

Billie I live just about 10 Miles from Moulton. Most of the major Auglaize Co. communities have historical societies but they don't all have a lot of genealogy information. Moulton is very small so information would possibly be located in Wapakoneta or St. Marys. The libraries in both of these communities have genealogy sections and as Moulton is about halfway between you might want to check with their library staff to see if anything would be available there. Here is the address for the county genealogical society. AUGLAIZE COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY POST OFFICE BOX 2021 WAPAKONETA, OHIO 45895-0521 This is their web page address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohauglai/genweb/ If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know.
