Jim, I suspect that you are confusing Muellenbach & Muerlenbach, for your Poppelreiters. Check both towns on Tom Pick's site. Poppelreiter seems to have originally been a Dialekt spelling, as there are a lot of spelling variations. My Elisabeth Poppelreiter, who was married to Peter Cremer in Malberg is spelled Pupelreiter in the early, French, civil records for one of her daughters. Another version would be Poppelreuter. Kathy Hi Peggy, My ancestor Nikolaus WAGNER (1848-1921) was born in Muelbach, and yes, it is different from Muellenbach. My POPPELREITER ancestors probably came from Muellenbach. If you go to the link http://www.meinestadt.de/Muelbach?FRAMESET=_frameset_karte.html you can find Muelbach's precise location on the map, one mile southeast of Baustert.

RE: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Baustert Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 22:27:50 +0100 From: [email protected] (Werner Lichter) To: [email protected] Hello friends, on Saturday, June 22th there will be in the parish of Baustert near Bitburg (direction to Neuerburg) a parish festival at 7 p.m. I am invited to come there. They asced me to tell them in a report something about the emigration of this parish to USA ore somewhere else. The towns of this parish are Baustert, Berghausen, Brimingen, Feilsdorf, Hisel, Huetterscheid, Muelbach, Tempelhof and Neumuehle. Here´s my problem: My collection of emigrants from this parish is very small. I know about only one member from this list, Jim Ross. He has Wagner ancestors from Muelbach that went to Arcansas/USA, I hope this is correct Jim. Are there some other connections that will be of interst to tell the people of Baustert parish, perhaps emigrants, genealogical data. I would be glad to get some further information about emigrants from the parish of Baustert. back in the list with best wihes Werner LICHTER Dear Werner, After looking at a map of the Grand Duchy, I find the towns you mention above. However, I cannot find Muelbach included in the towns listed in another section on the map.Maybe it is too small. I have a relative who emigrated to Minnesota U.S.A. and was from Mühlenbach. Are the towns of Mühlenbach, Millebach and Muelbach all different? Millebach is what another family member has in his research for my KIOES ancestor's residence. Your reply is appreciated.

Hello Nancy, The animal population those days were certainly quite different to that we find today. The only poisenous snakes you find in Germany today are two sorts of vipers, ( Vipera berus and Vipera aspis). What I can tell you to Bad Kreuznach is that one can find a totally unpoisenous snake , the natrix tessellata in that aera. I recently visited Bad Sobernheim and found a signboard right in mid-town informing people about that snake. It inhabits the river valleys of Nahe, Mosel, Lahn and had been relocated to the Bad Kreuznach area a few years ago. Ursula (Buchholz) aemail: [email protected] www.ursula-buchholz.com
Hello Ursula, I suppose it's quite possible the snakes that bit my ancestors were not poisonous and that they died mainly from infection. I was just curious about what snakes existed in the area at the time. I find it odd these two children died of the same reason a year apart.

My WAGNER great-grandparents from Baustert parish settled in Illinois first, then moved to Arkansas about 10 years later. Their MIRKES cousins settled in Wisconsin, and many MIRKESes still live there. My great-grandmother's aunt Margaretha BRETZ was born in Brimingen and her descendants were named SCHMITZ. Their descendant lives in Arizona. My great-grandfather's aunt Anna WAGNER married a STEFFES and their descendants emigrated to Illinois. They now spell their name STEVENS. Finally, the descendants of the son of Theodor HAU and Maria NEUERBOURG ALIAS HEINZEN of Brimingen moved to Luxembourg before 1861, and their descendants now live in Illinois. I hope all the Baustert fanatics find this useful. Please write to me directly for more info. Jim Ross
I am curious... what type of snakes are indigenous to the Bad Krueznach area? Please let me know what you think of the following death record transcriptions of 2 children from Heddesheim: Maria Veronica GRIESBACH b. 24 May 1777 d. 07 May 1790 Heddesheim, Kreis Kreuznach, Rheinland, Prussia "Die Septima Maii gangraena serpente Subito necata, nullogs sacramento munita, utpote nemine me ad aegram vocante obiit Maria Veronica filia legit Joannis Griesbach & Margarethae p.m. conjugum civings hujat, aetatis 12 annorum 11 mensium + 13 dierum & die 9th Sepulta." Maria Margaretha GRIESBACH b. Abt. 12 February 1764 d. 05 June 1789 Heddesheim, Kreis Kreuznach, Rheinland, Prussia "Die quinta Junii gangraena serpente necata omnibus morientum sacramentis rite munita obiit Maria Margaretha filia legit. Jois Griesbach & Anna Margaret. p.m. conjugum hujat otatis 25 annorum 3 mens & 24 dierum & die 7 sepulta est." They died of gangrene as a result of snake bites, right? Or am I totally off base.

Werner, My great-great grandmother was Suzanne Baustert from Meysembourg, Luxembourg, who immigrated to the USA in 1846. I'm curious as to whether most of the Baustert familes originally came from Baustert, Germany. Or is it just a coincidence?

Is it possible not to duplicate the WHOLE Trier-Roots-D when you are replying to a query? The Message #5 in TRIER-ROOTS-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 123 looks like everything was duplicated from the previous Trier Digest.
Howard, My message may have been misleading. My connection to Neunkirchen is actually through NEIS and related families, roots in 18th c., and seek descent. I have collateral relations to some Schmitt families in the Eifel but my surname comes from Mülben/Waldbrunn, Baden ("die kleine Schweiz") and in some lines from Münsingen, Switzerland.
