PAULEEN, thank you. will send thro our SELLERS group and see if they want a look up. If the list isn't too long, could you copy the names and send and we can post on our Bavaria page which does Not have much info. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: P Cass [mailto:p.cass@bigpond.com] Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2004 12:02 AM To: mari@netins.net Cc: Ginsgeno@aol.com Subject: Zellers-Bavaria hi Marie & Gina I have only today seen your queries on Zellers in Bavaria -perhaps you already have all the answers you need. I thought I would mention to you that in northern Bavaria they regard towns as only 2kms away as being a different area --very different from the US or Australian experience. Grossheubach is quite close to where some Zollers emigrated from Dorfprozelten -however see my point above. I have a history of Dorf. which lists many names --if you want to send me the names you were looking for I'll check it's not in there. If you already have solved your problems --no worries. I was interested in the naturalisation certificate you mentioned & what they included. I believe that emigrants had to revoke their citizenship entitlements but have been unable to find any copies. In fact I asked at the Wurzburg Archives in June and was told they don't exist --unless my German let me down badly, which is possible. I am always cautious of people insisting that when it says Bavaria it is really not correct --when I started my research here in Australia I was dogmatically told by the German Family History expert that there were no Bavarian or Catholic immigrants to Queensland (one of our states). I eventually proved him badly wrong but only by being wilfully stubborn and getting lucky with some data Cheers Pauleen Cass PO Box 341 NIGHTCLIFF NT 0814 Australia.
