Re: SCHWARZ / MICHEL; DEU; 1843 Dear Mary Ann: If you want to get the address of the Lutheran Church in Berigau/Thuringia, write to the central church administration, which is in Eisenach: Evangelische Landeskirchenverwaltung Thueringen Eisenach/Thueringen Germany They will provide you with the information you are looking for. As far as Johann Michel is concerned that should read Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen (The Schwartzburgs were the local Dukes) Their Palace in Rudolstadt is now the State Archive for Thuringia. They keep an emigrant registry. Write to: Thueringer Staatsarchiv Rudolstadt/Thueringen Germany Provide them with the particulars you have on Johann Michel, they might have him in their registry. Good Luck Roger M.
