My 2nd great grandfather, Johan Rapp (1819 Abenheim), immigrated?to the US in 1851.??In Germany?he was a tailor, but a farmer upon settling in?the US. His father is Valentine Rapp (1781 Abenheim) and mother Catherine Trunk (1776 Abenheim).??Valentine's father is Philip Rapp and his mother is?Eva.? Now?I suppose they could have been born?there too, but I could find no earlier records to search.??I guess that's two generations I'm aware of in Abenheim.? Are there any earlier records available for this area that I may search.? I guess that would be?Dalberg Family records? Sure hopes this?helps you help me.? Thanks again for your kind response.

I don't know whether there are older records nor where they may be kept. I don't do any research in that area. May be others in this list may help you there. Note Johann Rapp may have been tailor, but he very likely also was a farmer in Abenheim. Often farmers had a kind of second job to feed their families. As nearly everybody was a farmer, even if they mainly lived from farming, this was no differentiator. This is why a side-job often was mentioned as job as this was the differentiator. Only in cities tailors could live from tailoring alone. On the countryside this was rather an exception. I am telling you this as this may help you understand switching to farmer only in the U.S. may not have been as difficult for Johann as you may have imagined. Regards, Thierry Dr. Thierry P.
