Hi Maggie: I realize I'm getting in on the end of this thread, but just last night I read about "LAURITZ/LAURITZEN from Schleswig-Holstein" who settled in St. Mary's Parish in Franklin Co., Louisiana in the 1870s. If this is of interest, I will send the entire article. Bev Colgin (moll1942@aol.com) mainly researching Brünjes, Hoffmeister, Moll, Mook, Reiher, Renken and Utz families.

I was just going to ancestry.com minding my own business and I got to this site http://landing.ancestry.com/immigration/main/?o_iid=24988&o_lid=24988&o_it=21416 and it says their Immigration collection has just tripled in size - and is available free until Nov. 30 Julie in CA --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Try Netflix today!
