I have Sophia Reinhard (spelled Rheinhard once) was born about June 7, 1820 in what looks most like Merkershausen, Bavaria. The place is hard to read. She married George Edward Lurz in Baltimore. Burial was in St Alphonsus Cemetery, Baltimore. Mass was at St Michael's Church. Both Catholic. She immigrated before 1848. I don't know her father or any other relatives but wish I did.
