Do you have some more information about August Mogk * 1858, mentioned above, maybe it is him: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100326546227&lds=1&region=11&frompage=99 oo 29 JUL 1886 Mary Burkle Manhattan, New York, Father Wilhelm Mogk, mother Elisabeth Noll? If so " Aechzel Hesse Danerstadt" should read Echzell Hessen Darmstadt, seems to belong to one of that families: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/customsearchresults.asp?last_name=mogk&batch_number=M939033&region=8&record_group=1&LDS=1 That's why it could be an idea to try Echzell Film http://tinyurl.com/6o6eh BTW I also have some Mogk ancestors in Reichelsheim-Friedberg: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/customsearchresults.asp?last_name=mogk&batch_number=C938881&region=8&record_group=1&LDS=1 a place rather near Echzell, my Mogk is at: http://home.arcor.de/andorama/gen7-9.htm#245 maybe we can join some day.
