Johann Nicholas Fuchs, son of Frederick Adam Fuchs, was born Aug. 28, 1821, and emigrated to New York via the ship /Florida /in June 1842. In 1850, he was living in Milwaukee--the census records him as John--with his wife Margaret (born 1826) and three children, born 1845-1849 in New York. By 1860, he had married Catherine Koch (born Dec 27 1838). Their oldest child was born Sep. 17, 1862. Johann's naturalization papers record him as renouncing allegiance to King Ludwig of Prussia. The only Frederick Adam Fuchs I have been able to find was born in Eckweiler, Prussia, in 1780. Wisconsin records and church records yielded only his father's name. The LDS church records for that site stop at 1800, so I have been unable to verify that this is our family. Still, the naming patterns fit. All this is prelude to my questions: 1. Where does New York store its marriage records for the years 1842-1845? 2. If the city of Milwaukee shows no marriage records for John & Catherine, is there a state repository for Wisconsin marriages during the 1850's? (I realize that it is possible that they married in Northern Illinois or Indiana.) 3. How does one find a reliable genealogist in Germany to verify the church records I have found through FamilySearch? Or is there another source I may have missed? I am aware that, if I can find the marriage records I need, they may well yield the information I seek, and I am hoping that such is the case. However, I have been stonewalled so often with Johann that I'm asking the Prussia question as well. Ellie Depew

Ellie,  for pre-1907 records, try the Wisconsin Historical Society on line at  www.wisconsinhistory.org If you don't find anything under their genealogy records, I also have the name of a paid researcher that I have used for finding records in SE Wisconsin. Della Gamalski,  also with E. Prussian and Polish relatives that I can not find. -----Original Message----- From: Ellie Depew <SraEllie@carolina.rr.com> To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 1:38 pm Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Johann Nicholas Fuchs Johann Nicholas Fuchs, son of Frederick Adam Fuchs, was born Aug. 28, 821, and emigrated to New York via the ship /Florida /in June 1842.

The surnames of Fuchs and Koch are on the Salzburger list. If indeed your ancestors were of the Salzburger's these are ethnic Lutheran Germans who left the Salzburg, Austria area, many in 1731-1732 and went to East Prussia and another group settled in Ebenezer, Georgia. They left due to religious reasons. http://www.rootsweb.com/~autwgw/exul/sn1.htm also http://www.salzburger.homepage.t-online.de/Fam-name.htm This is a website telling the story of the Salzburgers. http://www.exulanten.com/preussen.html Sandie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellie Depew" <SraEllie@carolina.rr.com> To: <prussia-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 12:38 PM Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Johann Nicholas Fuchs > Johann Nicholas Fuchs, son of Frederick Adam Fuchs, was born Aug. 28, > 1821, and emigrated to New York via the ship /Florida /in June 1842.

I did not locate a marriage record for Johann and Catherine in Wisconsin between 1850 and 18650 in Milwaukee Co. There is a death certificate for a Catherine Fuchs in Milwaukee Co. WI. She died 10 April 1889, Reel 068, Volume 10, Page 0184. Index Vol: 03 and Sequence No. 115183. I cannot state that this is your Catherine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellie Depew" <SraEllie@carolina.rr.com> To: <prussia-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 12:38 PM Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Johann Nicholas Fuchs > Johann Nicholas Fuchs, son of Frederick Adam Fuchs, was born Aug. 28, > 1821, and emigrated to New York via the ship /Florida /in June 1842.
