Johann (John) died Feb. 14, 1892, also in Milwaukee. They owned a tobacco shop on Water Street. Thank you for checking. Ellie

The following was posted on this website: In the LDS locality index, I find references for church records, and underneath where I usually find whether they are Katholiche or Evangelische, instead it will say, for instance, "Preussen Armee, Dragoner Regiment 06" and list birth, marriage and death records. I sent this on to a relative who was born in Lithuania and came to America in 1955. She can speak and read German and has an excellent knowledge of the area. This is her response: What you want to know is "Prussian Army" and the other one is the name of a Regiment in that Army. I ran across a lot of that in the Goldup records. I am going to ask her if she has any other information pertaining to this. Sandie
