I have a question please. A while back I posted that I had discovered on a ship record that my family came from Molzen. I have been waiting ever since for those films to arrive. They finally arrived but so far I have only found the husband's birth record. None of his wife's family, which is my direct line, are in these records. Another ship record listed Uelzen, but I cannot find any films in the LDS catalog for Uelzen. Someone emailed me and gave me the name and email address of someone in Germany that had helped her with Uelzen records. I had contacted him but he said he didn't have anything for Molzen. Now I would like to ask him about Uelzen but I no longer have his information. I would really appreciate having that information again. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for other towns to try? This couple met and married in Germany so I know that the family has to be close to Molzen somewhere. The marriage license of a sister says that they were from Dannenberg. So somewhere around Dannenberg, Molzen and Uelzen. Thank you very much. Janet <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Myron, Thank-you for your response, have written to the Court in Lisbon, enclosing a copy of my great-grandfather's naturalization record, asking if there may be a file on him, ect. Have not received a response, and that was sometime ago (July, 2006). Maybe, I will try again, one never knows. Thanks, again. Sandy Browning

Hello, Do you have a date for the Naturalization paper you do have? On some of them there is a number stamped in the top corner.

Sandy: You may want to ask the Court in Lisbon about his Declaration of Intent. These usually have a lot of info. Much more than the citizenship decree. Note that it may no longer be available. It may be in the "loose papers". It may have been filed in a different court, possibly even in a different state. But it is worth asking about. Myron E.

Bob, According to the copy of his naturalization record, it is dated October 5, 1876. The only thing that is stamped in the upper right corner, is the Volume #3, page 242. I did not find the information that it contained, to be of much help. I obtained the copy from the Ohio Historical Society. Did find that it took place in the Probate Court in Lisbon, Ohio. By the way, it was filed under the spelling "Ribe". I would like to make a trip to Ohio, but that is out of the question, right now, as I am recovering from a shattered left ankle, nicely obtained during one of our ice storms. Thank-you for your response. Sandy Browning

Maureen, Thank-you for responding to my inquiry on the "Riebe" name. I will have to "digest" the information that was sent. Every little bit helps. I have followed the list for sometime now and am amazed at the wealth of information that people supply. Thank-you, again. Sandy Browning

Since you're posting on the Prussia list, are you certain the church you want is Catholic? A majority of churches in Prussia were Evangelical . . .

Hello, Am looking for researchers and kin of the Heiner Koch and Catherina Schroeder Koch family. Catherina Koch came to America about 1867 as a widow, and died about 1892 in Germantown, Illinois. Her sons were named Herman, Fred and Johan. All born in: Neunkirchen bei Reitburg, Germany. Anyone involved with this family or can they tell me what Catholic parish might be involved in this area? Does anyone have a photo of the town square or prominent attraction? Thanks Alexandra in Missouri, USA ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
