Thank you Richard for the tips on Aschaffenburg. A name in my collateral lines from Aschaffenburg is ORT. Catherine THEODORE married Jacob Ort from Aschaffenburg. I believe my Theodores, Hartmanns, and Orts were all interconnected as many families from the mid-1850s were. Would you by chance know the diocese that Aschaffenburg belongs to?

I wanted to share with the group my experience with an ancestor who was said to be from Aschaffenburg in the Census Records here in the United States. Based on a census record, I assumed the ancestor was from the city of Aschaffenburg. For years, I had tried to search every available source for the city of Ashaffenburg and did not find them. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the census record was indicating the region of Aschaffenburg. I turned my attention to a search of villages around the city of Aschaffenburg, and eventually found them in KLEINKAHL and SONDERKAHL. Based on my experience, I would encourage searchers to research further if you find a record indicating Aschaffenburg. You may be pleasantly surprised when you are able to find even more specific information about your ancestors in a nearby village. Steve Frank SFrank@woh.rr.com Tiffin, Ohio
