Dear Ray- Can you tell us a bit more about your family? Did they move to the United States? If so, where did they live? What were their children's names?

Ray, It's very important to learn where your family was from in Silesia. The reason for this is so you can learn where the records are stored. Records are filed by religion, parish and/or the civil administration district. Just knowing a name is now enough. There is no index system for these records.in on a central national system. In 1990 there was a study done on surnames and where the adults with specific surnames were lving in Poland. Using http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html, you can find this breakdown: Nazwisko Ogólna liczba Rozmieszczenie Liebich 46 Wa:9, BB:2, Ka:24, Kr:1, Op:5, Po:4, Wr:1 There were 46 in the entire country. Abbreviations for the provinces where they were found: Warszawskie Bielskie Katowickie Krakowskie Opolskie Poznanskie Wroclawskie At the above link, there is a list of the these provinces so people can use it in conjuncton with the lists of names and places. Click on "<javascript:legenda();>Tutaj znajdujsiobja[nienia skrótów " on that page. You will get a little popup window with the list. On it there is a link called "<javascript:mapa();>Zobacz map" to click on to get a map with all the provinces on it. This will help you narrow down somewhat where your family may have been in 1823, but as said before, you have to learn exactly where they lived to further your research.

So this Agnes.... Is this Agnew Mehlhorn? I seached for Immanuel Liebich on google books and came across this: The Catholic Who's Who Yearbook By Francis Cowley BurnandPublished 1935 Burns & OatesOriginal from the University of MichiganDigitized May 7, 2007 Leibich, Franz, Pianist and Teacher -- son of Immanuel Liebich, composer, and Agnes, dau. of Herr Melhorn, the distinguished Greek scholar; studied music at Cologne under Hiller and Seiss and at Dresden....
