Hi everyone! Well...it will be no sooner than tomorrow afternoon before I get my new system. I'm using someone elses to check some e-mail and get a message out. They promised my new system to me by last Saturday.....but they've ran into problems building it... :-( I have received e-mail from some of you...and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Since I have nothing in this computer I can't look anything up, or help anyone right now. I did a back-up just before my old system crashed (whew) so nothing has been lost *except* maybe some mail I received between 6-1 and 6-9....I went into my zips on this pc and for some reason when I did my back-up it didn't save mail or any changes I had made during that time to my mail, such as moving e-mail to other folders. (I have no idea why....very strange) So..if you sent me e-mail during that time please resend it. I know there are a couple people needing to be unsubscribed..I will do my best to get that done from this pc. Remember when you are unsubscribing, your "from" e-mail must be the same as the e-mail you are subscribed under or it will not work. Thanks all! I hope to be up and running on my new pc by tomorrow evening!! :-) ~crossing fingers~ Dee Kentuckiana Genealogy http://www.aye.net/~dee1234/ Listowner for KENTUCKIANA-L

Thanks to those who responded about the Catholic church in Washington County. I have several German ancestors who were Catholic and several who were Lutheran. Some areas in Germany were predominantly one religion or the other. However, all I know about my Mathias MUELLER / MILLER is that his daughter (my gr-grandmother) was married in a Catholic church here in Perry County. Her mother was a witness. If he and his family attended the Catholic church in Washington Co., perhaps there would be records of marriages of his other children, baptisms, etc. Land records and court cases have given me the few clues I have so far. I'm still optimistic. . . I appreciate all your help. Clara

I am in need of someone to do some research at the Corydon library and or court house. I had hoped to go myself, but don't think that will happen anytime soon. Does anyone on this list know of a researcher??? Thanks! Peggy Fuller

When things settled down, I think southern Germany was Catholic and northern was Lutheran, but it was probably more complicated than that. --------------------------------------- Robert E.

It was always my belief that Germans were Lutherans also. My German ancestors who settled in Pennsylvania wereLutheran, and the Germans I grew up with in the German settlement of Jackson Co., IN were also Lutheran. However, now that I have moved to south Texas, I have found that there are German Catholics also. Recently my daughter and I were researching some family records of her husband's Mexican Catholic family through a Catholic church in Victoria, TX and were told by the Sister that one of the Catholic churchs in town was a German church so there was no use for us to go there to look for records. That was a surprise to me. Ardath Blue Edna, TX RM>Clara, RM>I'm glad I was able to help. RM>Have one of my "Food for Thought" things, however ...

Clara, I'm glad I was able to help. Have one of my "Food for Thought" things, however ... You said that your Mathias MUELLER/MILLER was probably a Catholic. When we moved here (Effingham, IL.) over 20 years ago, we found mostly German Catholics who lived here. My grandmother (will be 97 this year), and knows a good deal about religion (Sunday School teacher for 20 years, etc.) was amazed when she learned that the Germans here were Catholic. She said that normally she had always found where (at least in her younger days) that they were ALWAYS LUTHERAN. She was quite adamant about it. I never questioned her, but have always wondered about this. Maybe someone else on the List will know more. In the same WASHINGTON CO. SPECIAL (#1) by Naomi Keith Sexton, under CHURCHES (pg. 8) . . . LUTHERAN CHURCH "Among the early emigrants to this county there were a number of Germans who were members of the Lutheran Church." Then, she goes on to talk about the organizations of the Lutherans, but how due to other churches coming in, and their revivals which succeeded in enrolling many of the Lutherans under their banners, the few who remained faithful to the church, seeing that an organization could no longer be maintained, sold the property, and that was the end of the church in Washington Co. She gave no date when this happened. I know how difficult it is to research Germans in Washington Co, as there didn't seem to be many there. My ancestor, Aaron N. ZIGLER, a German, was in Washington Co. (md: Barbary Ann PAVEY, 1856 there.) I can find absolutely nothing else about him! I remember seeing something somewhere (have to check my notes) that a Zigler did marry a Miller, early, in that part of Indiana. Have you ever come across the ZIGLER name in your research of the MILLER's? Hope I didn't confuse you on the Catholic - Lutheran topic. Marsha McWilliams

Marsha, This really helps! My ancestor, Mathias MUELLER / MILLER, was in Washington County sometime between 1853 (emigrated to US) and 1856 (bought land in Perry County, IN). He was German and probably Catholic. Since there wasn't much of a German or Catholic community in the area, that may explain why he moved on to Perry County, IN.

Night of 6/14/98 Evidently AOL is doing something to the mail boxes tonight. I couldn't send to three AOL memebers for that reason--mailbox not available. I am not receiving any mail now. Even I request that sent to a mail list which I should have got a copy off. If you Email anything and can't get through please resend later. Toni Gorman rockall@aol.com

Hi Clara and All, According to the HOOSIER JOURNAL OF ANCESTRY, Washington Co. Special by Naomi Keith Sexton, HISTORY--CHURCHES, pg. 9 The only ROMAN CATHOLIC church organization that ever existed in the county was in Salem. In 1856 a brick church was built and the same was dedicated by Bishop M. J. Spaulding, of Louisville, KY on 2 June 1857. At that date the church had considerable following in and around Salem and Fathers Murphy, Neeron, Doyle, Gintz, Pensor, Kintrip, Dick and Kenneth served as priests at various times. A cemetery was purchased and laid out on the north of Crown Hill. But those who were once active in this church work moved away or died until there was little following left and about 1895 the church and block was sold to private parties. Hope this helps. Marsha McWilliams

Hi all, Can anyone tell me the name of the Catholic Church in Washington County, IN that would have existed in the 1850's? Have the early records been microfilmed? If so, where are they located? I did not find any reference in the LDS records. Thanks, Clara

Does anyone have access to the Filson Club records that were compiled on the history and geneology of Louisville who would be willing to do a look-up for me? Tim Jones

Is there anyone who has a list of graves in Louisville or death records who could look up JAMES MAXWELL? He died sometime between 1840 and 1850 in Louisville KY. I can't find out any more about him other than that he was married to Mary Ann Beckwith and fathered Caroline Beckwith Maxwell. Thanks. Tim Jones

hello, I am looking for the wife of Booker Wilson b. 1770 Amelia Va. Moved to Lawrence Co. around 1830 Died 1839. His parents were John and Ann Luck, her parents were Samuel and Mary (Phillips) Luck. Booker is buired in Jackson Twp Greene Co. Booker wife was called Polly, name may be Mary >>> My ggrandfather was George Dillard Wilson,Booker's son first born, that is why I think his mothers's name may have been Mary Jane Dillard. George Dillard Wilson's daughter my grandmother was Mary Jane Wilson. A shot in the dark. We have used the name DILLARD through many generations so I feel there was a Dillard woman in our line. Can you help!!!!! Thanks Phyllis
