Surnames: FREUND Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zg.2ADI/49.52.101.1 Message Board Post: I noticed your reference to FREUND, and especially Stephan. This may or may not be the same person, but he (or they) are likely some kinship--- the early records (1852-68) for Johnsburg Catholic church are on-line at the following website-- http://www.mcigs.org/St_Johns/index.html There are 28 references to Stephan Freund under the letter "F" index at the bottom of this home page. Just click on "F" and you will many many references to Freund people, all likely related in some way since they are at the same parish at the same time. I noted one Stephan being confirmed 1863. Would this be about right? But there are Stephans being fathers of children already in 1853. Hope this is helpful. If you have trouble finding it, let me know. Ken Neumann
