I am just sick. I've been working with Catholic baptismal records from Bensheim (1823 - 1869) and have found several families living in the United States. But, it seems, no one else is working on them. I would love to find descendants so I can share the information with them. Families specifically are the SCHACHNER's in St. Louis and Louisville; and PFLEGER's in NYC and Northampton Co., PA. One example is August SCHACHNER who was born in Louisville. He was a famous surgeon and writer. One of his passport applications identifies his father as Franz Joseph SCHACHNER of Bensheim. I have a copy of Franz's baptismal record in 1825. Anyone working on families from Bensheim? Nancy
