The Zentralarchiv is on longer on Jebenstrasse St....I hope they left a forwarding address. Actually I've seen the German postoffice due some fantastic things in delivering mail....so a letter to the old address will probably get through. jdbentz@prodigy.net

No, Betty. But I knew that Herb Teske. My Teske family homesteaded in Hutchinson and Charles Mix Counties, SD, in the latter 1800's, my great grandfather homesteading two miles south of Menno, and a few years later, my grandfather homesteading about nine miles SE of Armour, SD. My father was Herbert J. Teske and was born in Mansbridge, SD in 1900. It's good to hear from you.

Bonz, In 1803 Mainz was added to Hesse-Darmstadt. You didn't say the date of your map or what part was in Prussia, but I believe the Family History Center has their microfilmed Mainz records all together under Germany and not Prussia. Mainz has many, many churches, so it might be helpful to first study that part of Mainz that you suggest was in Prussia -- if you can make it out from the map. I think Mainz records begin in the 1500s, so you have lots to choose from. As it was such an important place, there are Austrian and Prussian Army records too, as I recall. Its been a long time since I searched the records but I'm sure a quick look at the FHC catalog will list what is available to search. Sounds like your work is cut out for you -- Good Luck!

Herbert Here is the e-mail address to the other Ev. Archive in Berlin. I believe that most of Their records are in Pommern . http://www.ezab.de/d/aframe.html I tried to sent the English translated page , I hope that it goes thru OK I wrote to Them before for a record in Posen and They refered Me to another Polish address , and then charged Me 10 EURO , and then wanted My address to send the bill to Me. They then charged another 12 EURO , and when I got thru with all of the registered postal charges , and money exchange rate , and a postal charge for the return notice of the Cashiers check that They received . The total to Me was $48 , for Them to tell Me that They did not have the records !!!!

Karen, Actually, in digging around, I did find an old map. At one point, Mainz was in Prussia, although barely. The timing was right. You're the second to mention Mayen (and I did see it on the map while searching.) So I may check that out as well. The IGI gave two Krempel marriages in Mainz, one well after mine left, one of a Francis KREMPEL who married in 1783. My Francis KREMPEL was born in 1810 so who knows, perhaps this other Francis was related. It gives me a starting place. The Mayence was quite clear on the certificate, so in this case, there was no problem reading it (as can be the case sometimes.) I don't know from where Anna Mary originated. I assume they married in Germany, but am not sure, as the first child was listed as being born in the U.S. (I don't have the exact place other than "Pennyslvania", so don't have the baptism.) Thanks for the suggestions. It's nice to have a place in which to look, after 25 years of just "Prussia".

Is the name clearly written in the death record you mention or could it even be something else? I don't find any other places named Mayence in my old German town indexes. Mayen would have been in Kreis Mayen, in the Rhine Province of Prussia. Mayence/Mainz was in the Rheinhessen district, province of Hesse-Darmstadt and never part of Prussia. Interesting, though, is that Mainz was just across the Rhein river from Prussia (see Wiesbaden, etc.) in the 1800s. It might be helpful to know if the Family History Library's IGI indicates if the KREMPEL surname appeared in Kreis Mayen, Rhineland or in the Prussian area across from Mainz. It seems use of the word "Prussia" in the various census records you mentioned is significant. You didn't say if the couple was married in Germany, but do you know where Anna Mary originated?

Hi from Bon in South Florida. After 25+ years of research, I finally got something other than "Prussia" for my KREMPEL family. Problem is, I'm not sure where the town is, and would appreciate any help. The family always gave Prussia as the place of birth. It was very consistent throughout the census records and naturalization record. According to a death record, the place of birth is listed as Mayence. Was there a Mayence in Prussia, if so, where? I Googled, and found it was another name for Mainz and I think there was also one near Frankfort, but both were in the wrong states. Thanks for any help. In case anyone is searching, my KREMPEL family is as follows: Francis Jacob KREMPEL. Born Nov 23 1810, Mayence. Wife Anna Mary b Jan 17 1815. Prussia. 6 daughters born in the U.S. Francis had a brother, Wilhelm (married to Catharine). He was born approximately 1807. Bonz
