Hello Tricia, Friedrich Heinrich Julius Lorenz LIEBERG, photographer, is listed among those who emigrated from Schleswig-Holstein, on the excellent Rootdigger Website for SH. See here: http://www.rootdigger.de/ If you haven't already, go to the site, and click on Emigrants from the menu at the bottom. On that page, click on the letter L and wait while the very large listing of people, surname starting with L, loads. Scroll down and you will find a brief entry for Friedrich Heinrich Julius LIEBERG, born in 1862, a photographer, whose destination was recorded as USA and Denmark. The name, age and occupation match, so likely this is the person you are seeking. This also means that genealogist Klaus Struve, who has built this remarkable Web site, likely knows more a bit about this individual and also how to get everything you are looking for. He has done excellent research for me, for a reasonable fee, obtaining the text of the original German record and providing the English translation as well, from the Lutheran church records. His contact information is on the site. Others on the list will be better at helping you determine how to write to Flensburg for records, if you prefer to do it yourself. Best wishes, Barbara ________________________________ From: P Hunt <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 7:34:49 AM Subject: [SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-ROOTS] LIEBERG of Flensburg Hello Listers, Newbie here with no knowledge of Continental research at all........HELP!

He died in England in 1901 aged 39 and was a photographer by trade. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Tricia Hunt, Surrey.
