First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't get back to you immediately. We've had an ice storm and no power plus other issues. Actually, I am looking for MENG. I am just wondering about why I have found MENG, MENGE, MENGER, and MENGES in the same area. I was trying to determine if they might all be related with a surname variation based on Latin or some other factor. Also, name variations happen over time. The MENG family I'm trying to find include" Conrad MENG b.1785 and residing in Monsheim before emigrating in 1837. Emigrated with his wife, Elizabetha MUELLER and children Conrad b 1816 Ludwig b 1818 Catherine b. abt 1820 Elizabetha Margaret b. Jul 1820 John b. 19 Mar 1827 Wilhelm MENG b. 1810 and residing in Mertesheim before emigrating in 1848. 1st marriage to Maria SCHREIBER 2nd marriage to Henrietta MUENCH Friedrich b. abt 1844 Christina b. 16 Mar 1841 Louis b. 1837, son of Wilhelm Karen -----Original Message----- From: pfalz-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pfalz-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Laun Charlie Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 6:59 AM To: PFALZ@rootsweb.com Subject: [Pfalz] MENGER in Worms Karen-- Where/when are the Mengers that you are looking at?
