I am searching for Johannes DEMUTH. Brother to Michael DEMUTH. There could be another brother Peter and a sister Helena. I need a date when Johannes left ST. Wendel Germany. I believe Helena moved to Trier as a young girl Michael came to the USA in 1836 and Johannes should have left in 1837 or 1838.

Two Clasens appear in my Koch line, but I have no idea where they were from. Maria Clasen married Nikolaus Koch 24 Jan 1782, and Barbara Clasen married Sebastian Koch 11 Aug 1785. Nikolaus and Sebastian were brothers of my ancestor Johannes Koch. Our Kochs came to Chicago several generations later, however. (from Noswendel-Rodt, Germany) Pat

Mr. Lichter, I am looking for any information on my Grandmother's family. She was the daughter of Peter NICOLAY, tinsmith, who according to family history emmigrated from the Trier, Germany area. Peter NICOLAY, also according to family lore, was a soldier in the Prussian Army, prior to his emmigration. My grandmother was born circa 1890, in Duluth, Minnesota. Based on her birth date, her father, Peter NICOLAY (or NICOLAI) probably emmigrated between 1880-1890. Peter NICOLAY (NICOLAI) married Anna SCHNEIDER (or SNYDER) also from the Trier area in approximately 1888, possibly in Minneapolis, MN, or in Trier. I would sincerely appreciate your checking the books you are so familiar with for the NICOLAY/NICOLAI and SCHNEIDER/SNYDER names.

Hello, I have recently visited this region of Germany and I believe I have found my surname's origin. I am researching the names posted in the subject. I found those names in Lasserg (Lasserk), Munstermaifeld and Wierschem. Any knowledge of the those names would be an inspiration to me in my research. Especially the name Dunchem. Barbara Dunchem married to Joseph Haendgen and had a son Joseph Haendgen in 1819, who was, we believe, my g-g-g-grandfather. Thank you, Kim Handgen Sandstrom
