Hi everyone, Link to your roots has currently only transcribed the years 1890 to 1912, and online available are – to my knowledge – only the years 1890 through 1910. They have changed their search functions: previously one was able to search for names by departure year. This function was discontinued some time earlier this year. If you enter a name you will get a listing of anyone who left with that name during the above mentioned time frame. The dates of the departures will not be displayed unless you register and pay for the information.

Hello Billie, Is the Kruse surname in your family, Ostfriesien or not? Here is one of a few Maria Gehlings - Is this her?

Julie, I'd guess that Margaret lived with one of her children, especially a daughter, after her husband died. If you have any idea of the married names of any daughters, you can try searching for them in the census and see if Margaret shows up. Is it possible that their first son was born in Germany? I found a John Hornung born 1840 in Burundi (actually Bavaria if you look at the original census) in Kenton, KY. If this is a possibility, then this would probably be his death information: Name: John Horning Death Date: 21 June , 1928 Death Place: Kenton Age: 091 Volume: 31 Certificate: 15483 Maybe this death certificate would give the father's name. It's unusual that it didn't in Jacob's case.

Hi, Evelyn, Do you know the church at which he married in Memphis? I've found that if the church was "German" (served a German immigrant population), the marriage records were very complete, including the town the person was from.

If you have had difficult-to-find immigrant ancestors, the following information may assist you. Any good genealogy or reference department of a public library system or university should have this two-volume set of books. The Alsace Emigration Book, volumes 1 and 2, compiled by Cornelia Schrader-Muggenthaler (Clossen Press, 1989 and 1991). Volume 1 - ISBN 1558560351 Volume 2 - ISBN 1558560866 These two books cover the 1817-1870 period of emigration from Alsace. The book comprises a list of passengers mainly from Alsace, France. However, many people migrated through Alsace from Switzerland, Germany and other countries. The volumes are well worth giving a look at to see if your ancestors are listed. There are some passengers listed at the following link: Ship Passenger Lists: Immigrants from Alsace (and Elsewhwere) to America 1820-1850 http://members.cox.net/smithgen/sources/ships/ships18201850.htm (see other links on above web page) Short summations of the history of Alsace at: http://members.cox.net/smithgen/surnames/immfams.htm & http://www.roelly.org/~genealogie/links.htm Further information: FRA-ALSACE Mailing List at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/FRA/FRA-ALSACE.html & GERMAN-ALSATIAN Mailing List at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/DEU/GERMAN-ALSATIAN.html & Boards > Localities > Western Europe > France > Alsace at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.weurope.france.alsace Best of luck in your research!

I am hoping someone can help. LUDWIG LOUIS PREISEL was my g g grandfather from somewhere in Germany. He was born in 1857 and married ELIZABETH NEIHEISEL OR NEUHEUSEL ( birth 1861) in ZELL, Germany on Feb 12, 1882. They immigrated to New York on April 22, 1882 on the ship Braunschweig and settled in Pennsylvania or Ohio. Elizabeth's parents were PETER ( birth Dec. 8, 1816) AND ELIZABETH MARIA FRISCH (birth April 12, 1822). I think they were from Rhineland, Pfaltz, Germany. They were possibly married in 1844 in Waldmohr, Rhineland, Germany. My German geography is not the best, so hope I have these right. I do not know "anything" about Ludwig's family. I have been given tons of information about the Nieheisel by a very nice person. Can anyone help me with this? I do not know where to start. Does anyone know where I could find birth information on him? Thanks soooooo much. You can email me direct at www.madess@adelphia.net Mary
Last days i read about the some difficulties to find the difference between Germany and Prussia. Germany, as we know it today, has been formed in 1871 when the German Empire (The 2nd Empire) was formed. After both World Wars Germany lost about 1/3 of the area: German Empire 1871 = 208000 sq.miles, Germany today = 138000 sq.miles. Prussia always was a part of the German Empire. ********* The German Confederation 1815 - 1871 The German Confederation embraced ca. 243243 sq.miles with ca. 29 millions inhabitants. Founder members of the German Confederation were: Empire of Austria incl. Bohemia and Moravia (but without Kingdom of Hungary, Kingdom of Venice, Provinces of Galicia, Croatia & Bosnia-Herzegowina) Kingdom of Prussia (without the provinces of Posen, East- and Westprussia) Kingdom of Bavaria (includes Rhineland-Palatinate) Kingdom of Saxony Kingdom of Hannover (from 1837 in personnel union with Great Britain) Kingdom of Wuerttemberg Electorate of Hessen-Kassel Grande Duchy of Baden Grande Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt Grande Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin Grande Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Grande Duchy of Oldenburg Grande Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach Grande Duchy of Luxembourg personnel union with the Netherlands) Duchy of Holstein and Lauenburg personnel union with Denmark) Duchy of Nassau Duchy of Brunswick Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg Duchy of Saxony-Coburg-Saalfeld Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen Duchy of Saxony-Hildburghausen Duchy of Anhalt-Dessau Duchy of Anhalt-Koethen Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg County of Hessen-Homburg Principality of Waldeck Principality of Lippe-Detmold Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen Principality of Reuss older Lineage Principality of Reuss younger Lineage Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Principality of Liechtenstein Free and Hanseatic Town Luebeck Free and Hanseatic Town Bremen Free and Hanseatic Town Hamburg Free Town Frankfurt In the year 1825 vanishes the line Saxony - Gotha - Altenburg. Through a by the Saxon king Friedrich August I. announced arbitration award in the year 1826 the Saxon duchies in Thuringia get territorially new ordered: The line Saxony - Hildburghausen abandons her estates and assumes Saxony - Altenburg. Saxony - Coburg - Saalfeld abandons for Saalfeld. The territories Hildburghausen and Saalfeld come to Saxony - Meiningen. The territory Gotha comes to Saxony - Coburg. The Duchy of Saxony - Coburg - Gotha comes into being. In 1847 vanishes the house Anhalt - Koethen. The territory Koethen get thereupon a mutual administration by Anhalt - Bernburg and Anhalt - Dessau. In the year 1863 vanishes the house Anhalt - Bernburg. Anhalt - Dessau rules now the whole Duchy of Anhalt. In the Reussian estates exist in 1815 initially two lines of the house Reuss younger lineage (Reuss - Ebersdorf and Reuss - Schleiz) and one line of the house Reuss older lineage (Reuss - Greiz). The middler line was already vanished in 1616. In the year 1848 abandons Reuss - Ebersdorf in favor for Reuss - Schleiz. The territories of the younger lineage get summarized as Reuss - Gera. In the year 1849 the princes of Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern - Hechingen abandoned their sovereignty in favor of Prussia their countries became a Prussian governmental district. All member states were still fully indepedent with own legislative, jurisdiction, import fees & tax policy, military structure, currency. ******* The German Empire embraced abt. 539740 sq.km or 208393 sq.miles, 44.211.000 were living in the German Empire in 1878.

Hello -- I have been looking for my ancestors trip across to the New World for several years without success. Part of the problem is a very common name, Joseph Keller, which I am told is the 6th most common name in Switzerland. Here's what I know: Joseph KELLER born about 1820 in Switzerland, married Elisabeth Steinmann 1845 in Memphis, Tennessee, died 1864, buried in Memphis, Tennessee. Parents: John J. Keller & Verena Klingenfuss. Don't know when Joseph came across. And "John J." is undoubtedly the anglicized version of his father's name. His sister, Anna Marie Elisabeth Keller emigrated from Switzerland in 1856. She uses the name "Elizabeth" and sometimes "Louisa". There is a George Keller who appears in Memphis in 1855. I believe he is a brother to the other two. He may have been in the U.S. earlier than 1855. If anyone can help me locate these folks on passenger lists, I would appreciate it. I understand that most Swiss emigrants traveled up the Rhine to one of the German ports to embark on their journey to America.

Same here. The form keeps telling me to insert a 4-number birth date, which I have already done. Also, the form has "In"on the next line after the date.

Trying to answer my questions about the differences in all the Hesse-Hessen's. This is what Webster (dictionary) says about Hesse - Hessen: (What does 'am Main' mean after Frankfurt?) Hesse, variant or German, Hessen 1 region W central Germany N of Baden-Württemberg, divided into Hesse-Darmstadt (in the S) & Hesse-Cassel (in the N), the latter being united with Prussia in 1866 as part of the province of Hesse-Nassau along with the duchy of Nassau & the city of Frankfurt am Main ((am Main??)) 2 state of the Weimar Republic, equivalent to Hesse-Darmstadt 3 state of Germany & formerly of West Germany including larger part of Hesse-Darmstadt & part of Hesse-Nassau capital Wiesbaden area 8151 square miles (21,111 square kilometers), population 5,763,300 So when one says Hesse (or Hessen) what do they mean - Hesse-Darmstadt and Hesse-Nassau (#1) (since Hesse-Cassel is now part of Hesse-Nassau)? or Hesse-Darmstadt (#2) or Hesse-Darmstadt and part of Hesse-Nassau (#3)? ...or any of the above? I guess what it amounts to is that I don't understand how Germany is divided. Is it all states now? (like our country is in states). Next I'll have to delve into kingdom, duchy, grand duchy, Principality, county, state, province, electorate, republic - most of those must be obsolete? I looked up duchy - the territory of a duke or duchess; special domain. And grand duchy - the territory of dominion of a grand duke or grand duchess. I suppose these days we can call it all special domains or something else?? H E L P!! Betty FL
