How very nice of you! Thank You. I don't know very much about "the" business except this family and related families: Dobra and Freiensehner, all in Newark at the same time apparently got some training in Hanau, which according to family lore is a hub for jewellery making/training in Hesse. At any rate these three families were into jewellery in Newark, Texarkana, Texas (for a short stint before moving back to New Jersey) and in Attleboro, Massachusetts. There are some marriages among these families, but I haven't nailed down the link to the Theberaths, other than a picture in an old, old scrapbook which is inscribed "our cousin" Anything that you might add to my limited knowledge will be happily received. ck ----- Original Message ----- From: <Breakness@aol.com> To: <njessex@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 1:07 PM Subject: Re: [NJESSEX] [THEBERATH] -Newark 1840-1920 | | | In a message dated 5/14/2007 9:22:45 A.M.
