This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kVC.2ACE/3501.1 Message Board Post: Jeanette, you have posted your query on this particular message board, which is the message board for people looking for information about people who were specifically from what is today the state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. But in your query, you completely fail to mention the connection of these people to this part of Germany. You mention only the state of Ohio over in the United States. I don't think anyone here on the Germany Schleswig-Holstein message board will be able to help you until you do explain just what the family's connection to Schleswig-Holstein was. Robert
