Hi, This is my first request to this group. I am trying to find out any information about my gr-gr-grandmother Susanna (PETERS) DAHM. According to family history, she was born in Trier, possibly near Bittburg on 8 Aug. 1847. She left Germany with her sister Madeline to come to the US. I have information about her marriage to Nicholas DAHM and their ten children. They lived in Indiana. I am not sure how to go about finding any information about her in Trier. She was a catholic, but there were over ten parishes listed on a 1896 map. Could some one point me in the right direction. I would be so thankful. Mary

THanks to all who have helped me to locate resources pertaining to the Fane and Polly ships. I will relay more information as its becomes available.Here is a page which has two links to the Lloyd's listing of when the ship Fane came into Cowes England and when it departed. These images take a while to down load but are of the original listings of the arrival and departuer of the Ship Fane at Cowes, England.

Hi all; At one time I had the URL for a site to learn the German lauguage, but I can not find it since the "Crash of '98". Could someone send the URL. Also, is there a site to fine the names of soldiers of Germany who fought in the American Civil War. The Hessian Troups were fighting her for the Union during that war & found one of my ancestors was "in the American War" as stated on the descendancy charts that I have from someone in Germany. Thanks in advance Nita Pearce nnpear2@rmi.net

Would anyone be able to recommend resources where I might find descriptive information on the Polly and Fane ships. The Fane carried my ancestors from Germany in 1749 and ported in Philadelphia. The Polly carried more of my German ancestors in 1766 out of Amsterdam and then their voyage ended in Philadelphia. I looked through Ancient Ships of our Ancestors and found these ships to only date back to 1869. I would like to find possible drawings and learn more about these ships if all possible. Your help would indeed be appreciated. Ralph Stuckman Celina, OH USA

I am pretty new to this site and have, I believe, finally figured out how to send a message correctly! I am interested in any information about the surname TRIER. I was so happy to find a site so closely associated with my name! I have been able to get some information about the city, but none about the TRIER family. TRIERWILER seems to be as close as I can come. There are no prefixes or suffixes to our name. Although, I assume there has to be some rather strong connection to Trier. My grandfather was Celeste Trier from Hurley, WI. I don't know anything beyond this. Any help is appreciated!! I have enjoyed reading everyone's notes, to date!! Sarajane L. Cott Trier saracott@prodigy.net Wisconsin, USA P.S. I have been called Sally quite often!!
