Hello, I'm kind of taking a stab in the dark here, looking for August Balitz/Belitz/ Baylitz, born 1823 in Germany and his wife Mary (nee Bauer) Balitz born 1837 in Germany. I don't know if they came together as husband & wife, or if she came separately with her parents, August & Mary Bauer, and married when she got here. I know their first child was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1860. A grateful THANK YOU! to anyone who has the "Germans to America" CD's and can do a lookup in the index. Marilyn in Ohio
