Barbara, You might want to have a look at these sites: The first leads to the Online Gotha site which gives a tremendous amount of information about German nobility, and Lippe is included. http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/gotha.htm The second gives a history of the Principality of Lippe and the zur Lippe line. http://w3g.med.uni-giessen.de/gene/reg/NRHE-WFA/lippe.html By the way, there is listed in the Online Gotha an Adolf, Count von Lippe (the son of Ludwig zur Lippe and Auguste, Grafin von Hohenthal), who was born 11May1812 in See, and died 23Jan1888 in Philadelphia. Perhaps his deaath certificate from Philadelphia will be of use to you in your search. I am also searching for families from Lippe who emigrated to Philadelphia, surnames KLIGGE and VON BERGEN - if you bump into any of them in your search, please send them on home.
