Hi All, In Germany, surname is: PFLEGER (pronounced flay ger) (a "hard" g sound like in get). Variant spellings are many (see subject line for examples). Need help to find the following family in 1. 1850 US Census, in Erie County, or in NYC? 2. 1855 NY State Census. Have tried variant spellings in the online searchable index at ancestry -- with no luck. Thought someone else might have better luck. In 1860, the family is in Wellsville New York (Allegany County, District 27) as: Jacob FLIGER, 34, Farmer, b. Germany Henrietta, 32 b. Germany Julius, 12, m, b. NY Jacob, 10, m, b. NY Henry, 8, m, b. NY Mina, 5, f, b. NY George 5/12, m, b. NY In 1865, Wellsville, Allegany County New York Jacob PFLAGER, 40, b. Germany, Farmer, naturalized Henryetta, 39, wife, b. Germany Julius, 16, b. City of NY Jacob, 14, b. Erie Henry, 11, b. Erie Minnie, 7, b. Erie George, 6, b, Erie Albert, 4, b. Allegany Louis, 2, b. Allegany So, family in 1850 is likely only Jacob (24), Henrietta (22) and son Julius (age 1 - 2), living in NYC or Erie County. In the 1855, it seems they are in Erie County and may be: Jacob (30), Henrietta (29), Julius (6 - 7), Jacob (5), Henry (3), and maybe Mina (Minnie, Wilhelmina) <1. (Death cert for George FLAGER reads: b. 15 Sept 1859 Wellsville NY -- I note that the 1865 gives Erie county as his birth place). Hopefully yours, Debbie in Florida

Of course,, Konigsberg is a very long way from Wurzburg and Regensburg, and I have absolutely no knowlede of that area, except for Leonard Euler's famous solution to the topological puzzle called the "Seven Bridges of Konigsberg. However, it is alwaya a good idea to look at the Family History Library's catalog. Just enter Konigsberg and Ostpreussen in the place search and you will find a treasure trove of material. As far as language is concerned, if your ancestors lived in the 19th century or earlier their language would have been German, and the records are likely in German, if they have survived. George

Paul, I have had great cooperation from the neighboring diocese of Wuerzburg. All of their old parish books are on microfiche, and readily available in the archive, but not elsewhere, as far as I know. I have never asked the people there for assistance by mail, but they have been helpful when I was there in person. It is possible that the microfiche project went on in every Bavarian diocese. Did you write them in German? You might get a better answer that way. Before my two productive visits to Wuerzburg I telephoned the archive and made an appointment. This is necessary because they have a limited number of readers. When I called, I just asked for an English speaker, and got one quite quickly. Good luck with your research.
