Since I am new to your list, let me introduce myself. My name is Phyllis Dearborn. I live in Wi, USA. My immigrant ancestors come mostly from the Waldmunchen and Treffelstein area.Here are the names I am interested in: NACHREINER BRUCKL Waldmunchen LAUBMEIER Steinlohe(also in Grafenriedand Untergrafenried now in CZ) RING PAULUS PLETZER Treffelstein RUHLAND Glessling DISCHLER(TISCHLER) Frankenschliefe(Ulrichgruen) LIEGL Hocha KRAMER Irlach Most of these names can still be found in the village where I grew up-Plain, WI. Would anyone on this list be from the Waldmunchen area? I am trying to find out where to write to obtain copies of any permission to emigrate records or copies of land or property sales that were completed in order for them to come to America. I am also looking for the names of churches with addresses so I can write for baptismal records. They would be churches in the above towns and also including Ast/Biberbach. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Phyllis Dearborn
