Hi Ursula, Well, now, finding that baptismal record may not be as difficult as you think! Voila the Internet! A wonderful index of the parish register duplicates and civil registration records for the city of Nuernberg is now available on the Austrian site www.genteam.at. To use the resources on this site, free registration is required, and you must create a user name and password. Once you have signed into the site, a link called "regional" on the bottom left will take you to several resources, including the Nuernberg index. If you have questions, please get in touch. Good luck! Baerbel <The only other alternative would be to locate the birth certificate / church book entry of his son, John W. Fuchs, who was born in 1863 in Nuernberg. Of course this chance is slim to none as there probably were several churches in that city and there is also the chance that Nuernberg may not have been the actual place of origin but rather a place in the immediate vicinity.> NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
