This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bauer, Ruehs, Russ, Sonnenberg, Gieselmann Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZVC.2ACE/4058 Message Board Post: I am attempting to track my great grandparents believed to be Heinrich Christian Ruehs (Russ) born in Heersum, July 1862 (per Evangelical Church of Heersum records) and Anna Clara Bauer (or Brauer) born probably also Heersum in July 1865. Married in Heersum and left by way of Hamburg in April 1888 to the US on the "Sorrento". It appears his sister Dorothee Elisabeth married into the Sonnenberg family. Thanks, Mel
