He shows up in New Orleans with Philippe Cioffi at a musical ncert. He is listed in city directory as a musician and "played at irees". I have looked at a CD that has immigrants to New Orleans from rmany with no luck. A reply from the William's Research Center said that e ost likely came through New York as they could not find him on what ecords hey had. oes anyone know what port in Germany that he most likely would have mbarked rom? Does anyone have German ancestors who came to New Orleans round 1805? am wondering what ...historically...was going on about then n Germany to rompt them to come to America at that time. ny incite appreciated. elen Lehmann Smith co, TX ------------------------------------------------- om: "Jan Strickland" <[email protected]> nt: Thursday, September 30, 2010 3:57 PM : "LAOrleans" <[email protected]> bject: Re: [LAORLEAN] Jacob Born/Wilhelmina Rice Marriage Aug 3 OR 5,1854 w Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA Let me add to what Cate has said. My Baumgartner's came through La Harve from Alsace-Lorraine according to my Grandfather, per his mother and ather. My grandfather said Alsace-Lorraine was the german part of witzerland". Whatever that means. My GGgrandfather was sometimes Swiss, sometimes German who married a lady orn in Habana, Cuba. They came to NOLA in the early 1800's, he in 1836, he in 1830-31. The census records mostly said Switzerland and Cuba. So hat's what I use. Enjoy the search, and I, too, will search until I can search no more and ave already told my husband and my daughter what to do with all these ooks, records, notebooks, etc, that continue to clutter my little office.

Most of us have many bouts of "perplexation" in our research. You need to look at maps of Europe at the time of your investigation. Germany didn't really even exist then. It was a bunch of small political ubdivisions (Konigreich, Herzogtum, etc.) which regularly fought with one nother for territory. So one day someone could be Prussian, tomorrow olish, etc and if they were from the "bach" country they may have been 10 sort of nationalities" before even knowing something had changed. Or maybe he change is why they left. My surname is SCHWEITZER, which roughly means "shepard" or "herder" or someone from Switzerland. That g-g father was from Althornbach in Bavaria which is in now southern Germany, but maybe then it was part of witzerland. He was a member of one of the New Orleans German singing societies --- aybe he could yodel, but I didn't inherit his talent<g>. .......................................................................... ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the uotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------ unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes n the subject and the body of he message ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes n the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
