One of the major centers was in Aschaffenburg. They recently had (last year) an event celebrating this "Good Bye Bayern Grüß America". I believe this might be a place to start. Würzburg is only a short distance away.

I am presently searching for both my grandparents who immigrated from Germany to Canada. My grandfather ((TITZE) immigrated in the year 1911 or 1912 from Bremen. His home had been in KASSEL.The ship he sailed on was called the "Manford" or "Mantfort" He and his wife,Marie, had 5 children who came with them. I have also been trying to find my maternal grandparents. The grandmother was born in Halberstadt and later lived in Dresden. Her name was MINNA VON RIETHAUSEN born around 1864. She married a PAUL DELLNER GENANDT SUSSEMILCH, but the name was later shortened to DELLNER. My mother MARTHA DELLNER immigrated to Canada around 1924 to marry my father, who along with his parents had taken up a homestead in northwestern Ontario. All the websites I have searched have come up blank. I think it could be possible that some of the records may have been destroyed in the second world war, either that or they immigrated under assummed names. If anyone has come across these names, I would appreciate it if your would let me know. Thank you so much (danke) Dorothy Ward dorot@shaw.ca ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GERMANY-PASSENGER-LISTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
