Hi Tom- We found our Louisville-Bavarian ancestors in "Germans to America". Have you tried that? If you are lucky it might give the town they came from. This website lists many libraries, etc. that hold Germans to America. http://www.genealogy.net/gene/www/emig/gta-holdings.html They (the BRENNERs) emigrated in 1854 and came from Lauterecken. They were Catholic also and some are buried at Cave Hill Cemetery. The cemetery records are available on microfilm from the LDS Family History Centers, as are many Louisville City Directories. Another source for Louisville German records is the Filson Club. http://www.filsonclub.org/ -- Marilyn Mills Hesse marilynhesse@home.com Windsor, Connecticut, USA Researching: Pennsylvania: Beaver Co.: CRAIGHEAD/LYNCH/MOODY/ROBINSON Bucks Co: DENNIS/LEWIS Crawford Co:COLBOURNE/DENNIS/HAMILTON/ McQUISTON/MILLS/WILLIAMS/WILSON Mercer Co: LONG/MILLS/MOON/MOORE/ROBINSON - New Jersey: DENNIS/WILLIAMS Louisville, KY and Germany: BRENNER/GLASS/GUNTERMANN/ HESSE/MUELLER N.Ireland: Co.
