Hi. My name is Richard Swank and I live in Southern California. My wife and I have been doing Genealogy for about 35 or 40 years and I am now just getting into my families in Germany. I am researching the following families in Germany: 1. Friederick Schwenk possible in Oberriexingen, Baden-Wuettemberg, Germany which is near Stuttgart. The family came to the US on the ship President and took the Oath or Affirmation on Sept. 27, 1752. I have no information on this family in Germany. 2. Johann Casper Schmick came to the US on the ship Ranier arrivinng on 26 Sept. 1749. The ship list states that the foreigners are from Hanau, Wirtenberg, Darmstand and Isenburg. I have no information on this family in Germany. 3. Johann Georg Schwartz, born 25 March 1712 in Hinterbach, Oderwaldkreis, Hessen, Germany. I do have some information on this family in Germany. 4. Johan George Rebscher, born about May 1675 in Airsenbach, Beerfeilden, Odenwaldkreis, Hessen, Germany. I do have some information on this family in Germany. Any help on my families in Germany would be appreciated. This way I will have a starting point of where to look for the Schwenk and Schmick families in Germany. Richard Swank
