On the other hand, I have a Hessian GG Grandfather that was Luthern who married a Catholic girl from Baden in a Civil Ceremony in Baltimore in 1840 and according to custom of the time, as I was told, the sons were raised Luthern and the daughters were raised Catholic, each sex in the religion of the parent. Moreover, in the four lines today, descendants of the sons are still protestant and descendants of the daughters are Catholic in the same Communities. C WEIDEMEYER
