Hello all, Our list has experienced some growth in the number of subscribers over the last week or so. I invite our new subscribers to post your questions regarding the churches you are interested in.

So, welcome to all the new subscribers! -- Mary Taffet List Administrator for LUTHERAN-ROOTS mdtaffet@syr.edu

Thanks Mary, Haven't posted my interests for awhile. They are the Hempel Families in Kustrin, Neumark and Culmsee, Westpreussen and the Schwedler Families in Berlin, Brandenburg. Same families also after migration to Michigan in mid and late 1800's. Hopefully, there are other researchers looking for these same families. Some were members of Trinity Lutheran (Historic) on Gratiot Avenue and some information has been taken from LDS films of churches in Culmsee and Kustrin as well as at Trinity and the Trinity Cemetery in Detroit. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to give. William Hempel whempel@ozemail.com.au
