If you have access to the census somewhere other than Ancestry, would you please send me a copy of this image, even if it doesn't look readable Penny dmjjsmecm@carolina.rr.com 1910 United States Federal Census Louisiana Assumption Parish Napoleonville District 7 Image 2 Lines 79 through 86

Dear Lynette: If you do an advanced search and type in various years, you'll find that there are some years where there are no records. Examples: 1904, 1915, 1918, 1921, and 1925. So, it would appear that the index is not yet fully input. Also, the following statement on their website is incorrect: "Searching for marriages that took place from 1831-1869 may produce results with dates and names of spouses taken from the official marriage index, but individual marriage records for this period do not exist in the archives. We regret that we cannot issue certified copies of marriage licenses for marriages that took place during this period." The few marriages that you will find in this index dating from 1831-1869 are, in fact, delayed recordings and they are indeed there. For example, there is one marriage dated 1831, but it wasn't recorded until 1870, which is when marriages started to be recorded in the same office with the births and deaths. I have tried many times to have them correct this statement, but to no avail.

Norm, Thank you so much. I have not worked on the German info; not familiar with German research yet. I will have a lot of that to do with several German branches in my family tree. I was too busy trying to find what I could in USA. I still have some obits to send for. I would appreciate whatever you can find. Julie

Noles 1st Vice President, St. Tammany Genealogical Society STGS Newsletter Editor (STAR) St. Tammany Parish Ancestor Database Manager West Florida Parishes Regional DNA Project Regional Coordinator for Louisiana & Mississippi, International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) www.StTammanyGS.org ____________________________________________ Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak (yes, that's her real name), author of Honoring Our Ancestors (Inspiring Stories of the Quest for Our Roots), In Search of Our Ancestors (101 Inspiring Stories of Serendipity and Connection in Rediscovering Our Family History), Tracing Your Roots with DNA (Using genetic tests to explore your family tree) and They Came to America (Finding Your Immigrant Ancestors), has been an avid genealogist since the 6th grade and is skilled in many aspects of family history research. Megan is honored to serve as Chief Family Historian and North American spokesperson for Ancestry.com, the largest genealogical company in the world. She is also co-founder of Roots Television, a pioneering and popular online channel of genealogy and history-oriented programming. Among the many shows available for viewing is the New York City press conference about Annie Moore, where Megan corrected history by revealing the true story of the first immigrant through Ellis Island. This story was featured on the front page of The New York Times and in a variety of other publications, such as the Irish Echo, Time for Kids, and The Wall Street Journal. The story was also covered by NPR's Morning Edition, PBS's Out of Ireland, and numerous other TV and radio shows. More recently, she made another interesting Irish connection when she traced a branch of Barack Obama's family to Moneygall in County Offaly. Megan also made news when she discovered a startling connection when requested by Austin Fenner of the New York Daily News to research the roots of Rev. Al Sharpton. Much to her astonishment, she learned that Rev. Sharpton's great-grandfather had been owned by relatives of Strom Thurmond . After Megan walked Rev. Sharpton through his family tree, she traveled with him to Edgefield, SC to see first-hand the plantation and slave quarters (still standing) where his family had lived and the slave cemetery where some of his family is likely buried. Trace Your Roots with DNA: Using Genetic Tests to Explore Your Family Tree, her latest book (co-authored with Ann Turner, M.D.), has been featured in Newsweek, The New York Times, on NPR, and in the Book of the Month Club. Megan has appeared on Good Morning America (featured in roots segments on Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Chris Cuomo and Sam Champion), the Today Show, CNN, BBC Breakfast, Ancestors, TimeWatch, NPR, BBC Radio and a number of local television and radio shows, and has spoken at the National Genealogical Society, Federation of Genealogical Societies, Who Do You Think You Are LIVE! and numerous other genealogical, historical, military, ethnic and literary events (21 states, Washington, D.C., England, Canada and Mexico so far!). As lead researcher for the PBS Ancestors series, she delved into over 5,000 genealogical stories and developed much of the content for the companion website. She has subsequently consulted for other television programs, including They Came to America and African American Lives for PBS, and BBC's Timewatch (regarding the identification of sailors' remains recovered from the USS Monitor). Since 2000, Megan has also been a consultant with the U.S. Army's Repatriation project to trace families of servicemen killed or MIA in Korea, WWII and Vietnam. The intent is to develop a DNA-database from relatives' blood samples so that remains that are now being repatriated can be identified and interred. She has supported this and more than 75 other genealogical initiatives through her Honoring Our Ancestors Grants Program. Formerly an international marketing consultant, she has traveled to more than 70 countries and holds a BSFS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, MBA in International Business from George Washington University and MAS in Information Technology from Johns Hopkins University.

Julie, With the information you provided, it APPEARS that your Mandlers came from the small town of Launsbach in the modern German state of Hessen. The church record extract you provided shows "Lamspach." The marriage record from Holy Ghost German Evangelical Church in St. Louis says that Katherine Mandler was from Launsbach, Wetz, Preussen [Prussia]. Launsbach is in the Kirchenkreis of Wetzlar, perhaps the "Wetz" in the record. The extract says that the village of "Lamspach" [Launsbach] belonged to the Evangelical parish of "Weismar." This apparently should be Wissmar. The Wikipedia page for Wissmar (also spelled as Wißmar) is in German, but you can see a photo of the Evangelical church in which the Mandlers MAY have been baptized. See: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wissmar The extract says that Launsbach was "on the river Mayn near the town of Geisson." Launsbach is 4.7 miles from Giessen, which is on the Lahn River, and not too far from the Main River. It's possible that we have the right place. Do you want me to try to find where the old German church records are to see if this is correct, or do you already have this?
