>Peter, I have worked with the microfilms of the Protestant church records from Gross >Bieberau and I dont recall ever seeing the name Petri but that was not one of the >names I was looking for. I know that I did see several surnames that are also given >names and I may have seen Peter as a surname. Also, I mostly worked with the >records for the 1800's. Beverly, do you, perhaps, recall anyone with the surname of GAYDOUL in your research of Gross Bieberau in the late 1800's? I am looking for information on a Philipp GAYDOUL, born July 18, 1881. The family is Evangelical. Thanks for any information you can offer! Linda Fick Dudek -- Linda <Linda@nwcd.net>
