Dear Listers - I could use some help. I am researching my family who came from Bavaria. I have been working to find the town they came from, with no joy, so far. Everything that I have found on them only says they came from Bavaria (Baiern). They came together to the US in 1869 - and I have their immigration record, marriage record, children's baptism records and US censuses from 1870 thru 1930. All any of these records says is that they were from Bavaria. They were not naturalized. I have not found them in the IGI. I am researching Gottfied Meyer (b. 1842) and Kunigunde Wallner (b. 1845). The parents of Gottfried were Joseph Meyer and Maria Hoffmann and the parents of Kunigunde were Michael Casper Wallner and Juliane Wallner. Can anyone help me narrow my search for their town of origin? - by suggesting another source to look into or if you may know of an area where any of these names were concentrated.

Sandy I am surprised that you did not find them in the IGI. You have probably already done this but with the name MEYER there are so many various spellings, Meyer, Mayer, Maier, Mahyer, and probably others.
