MD. I have visited his grave site along with his wife who he married 29 Aug 1876 in Columbia, PA to Elizabeth Claus. We have visited the church where they were married. I have the death records for both of them. I have the same birth dates for their children. My husband's grandmother was Gertrude Rose Desch. I have a photo of him (J.J. Desch) and in a tin type picture of him with two other men, it is believe they were his brothers. That's one question I wanted the census to answer. John Joseph Desch's father was John Michael Desch born 1822 Frammersback, Bavaria, Germany, wife on census Mary E. born 1829 Germany. I do not have her maiden name or where & when they were married. I did find this couple and one child on the 1850 Baltimore City, MD census. His parents were: Philip Desch & Marianna Herr. I have not tried to trace my husband's family in Germany. I would welcome any additional information you are willing to give me. However, my question still remains-- Has anyone looking at the new L.D.S. 1880 US census been able to find their Baltimore City, MD in this data base ? I find it very odd indeed I can't find my husband's four families in this computer bank. I am absolutely positive they were living in Baltimore Co. or Baltimore City, MD. What I had hoped that this computer bank would have given me the various wards my husband's family can be found on the 1880 census. Do you know the ward that these Desch families were living in 1880 ? I think there is something wrong with the new L.D.S. 1880 Census Program. I wish someone would address this question directly.
