Thanks Susi, Say do you know how to find someones e-mail address if they have one? Do you know why so many French and Germans would have come to the New Berlin/Massillion area in the early to mid 1800? Land was not that cheap was there some form work program going on at the time? The Catholics would have found a great interest in St. John's Church it was one of only a few serving a very large area, from what I have read.
