Hi, John, I have an Anna Katharina Weinert (b. 25 Nov. 1853 in Gundersblum; died 23 October 1897 in Syracuse, New York); she married Peter GILCHER on 11 October 1882 at St. Peter's Luth. Ch. in Syracuse; they had four children before she died of pneumonia at age 43. Her parents were Philipp Weinert and Jacobina Drenhaeusser, according to the marriage record. There was also a Maria Pabst listed as a lot holder at St. Joseph's (Catholic) Cemetery in Syracuse, New York in 1860 and 1865. And a Friedrich Bapst was a German member of Company H (almost entirely Germans) of the 101st Regiment volunteers from Onondaga County/Syracuse during the Civil War (under General Gustav Sniper). See my website, "German Immigrant Ancestors in Syracuse & Onondaga Co., NY" at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mstone/ (use the "Search this site" feature).
