I am looking for information on a Carl Bruhns/Bruhnsen b Feb 1844. He arrive in the US on the Harry Bluff in Nov 1865 and is identified as coming from Koldenbuttel. Some correspondence I had some years ago indicated that there were some records in that town that indicated that the town paid for expenses and clothing for a Henning Carl Julius Bruhn in Aug of 1865 but that he had not been born in that town. Father is William, mother Caroline. I can't find them in the on line Census information. Anybody have any ideas where to go with this?

You might try getting help from Klaus Struve. He hosts the www.rootsdigger.de web site and does genealogical work. I have ancestors from Jevenstedt and have a several greats grannie named Engel Rohwer, early 1800s. The church data is not available from LDS so either you get help or go to the diocese office in Rendsburg yourself. God luck.

G'day Everyone, The LDS has microfilmed the Church Registers for the "Military Parish" (Militärgemeinde) of Lübeck from 1939-45. (See LDS film no. 0414620) Can anyone please inform me as to the scope of these records? Do these records just cover the families of those from Lübeck serving in the Armed Forces, or do they cover the wider civilian population living in the Lübeck wartime "military district"? Thanks for your help, David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia

Hello to Everyone! I am new to the list, just having begun my search for my ancestors. I have a few facts regarding my great grandparents and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction, or have some information regarding them. Johann F. KRAFT born Mar 1852 Emma Katharina SCHWARTZ(not certain on last name) born May 1862 daughter Marie born Oct 1882 departed from Hamburg 14 May 1882 on the CIMBRIA arr. New York 26 May 1882 origin on manifest states SCHWABSTEDT, SCHLESWIG They settled in Ogden, Boone County, IOWA and then moved on to Ft. Dodge, Webster County, IOWA. They were members of the Lutheran church. Additional children born in Iowa: John Jr. born Jun 1885 Anna J. Jan 1889 Fred Nov 1892 Marie was only 6 months old on the voyage, so I was hoping I could find a birth for her, or a marriage document that might shed some light on their origins. I am NOT certain that Emma's last name is Schwartz. The family legend has Emma in a convent/school studying to be a nun. She saw Johann working outside her window and was immediately attracted to him. The story goes that she eventually climbed out the window to join him - never returning to the school. And the rest is my history..... I welcome any and all help in locating more information on Johann and Emma! Thank you! Dan Meyer IOWA, USA

We're just trying to find a marriage for a Friedrich Gottlieb Heinecke and Dorothea Frederica Harms somewhere in Germany. Possibly is her? The Diebel/Jacobs/Jacobson side of my husband's family came from Garding and Wesselburen. His Great Grandfather was born in Eldsorf 1822. Parents as mentioned above. His wedding certificate here in Australia says mother was Dorothea Holms...could be Harms not too many englishmen here in Australia in those days would have understood the german language. Unfortunately on his death certificate only Friedrich the father is mentioned...mother not known? Thanks for looking for us it's very much appreicated.
