My great uncle was a "glazer" or glass worker when he came over to America in 1883. He was from the Kreuznach area, which is in the Trier area.

I would like to add that I have a friends daughter who is a master stained glass artist in Trier. The person that she studied under is also in Trier. I have been to her studio and seen some of the designs that she has done for churches. Beautiful work!

Hello David, In the manufactory there was made normal glas for windows. But this glas was shipped to the Netherlands and they made their money. In the times there were 27 glas manufactures opened and closed. The Schlawerie was closed and broken down about 1920. It belonged to the city of Friedrichsthal (the formerly bavarian part close to Neunkirchen). Werner J.

After looking on the site posted on this list: http://www.genealogienetz.de/vereine/wgff/trier/ I found my gggrandparent and the four children that came to this country with them. Christian Lenger 1810 TrierReg.Bez. Elizabeth Glesius 1814 TrierReg.Bez. Barbara Lenger 1847 TrierReg.Bez. Christian Lenger " " " Katherina Lenger " " " Margaret Lenger " " " 1847 was the year they came to this country and I'm guessing this is a record of their permission to leave. They were listed in Auswander. Would there be any other information on them in the records? Would anyone on this list have a copy of the book with that information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Janet Warner granjan@rea-alp.com No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Ron, I'm sorry for your loss, but you just gave a testimonial for why all of us should maintain an "off-site" copy of our data. Not many Katrina's happen in our lives, but disk crashes and lightening strikes are more often than we would like. I find that RootsWeb WorldConnect (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/) is an excellent place to both show my family data ("cleansed") and be able to retrieve it (as sent), if a disaster should happen. And even better, it's free and the submitter has complete control to update or delete (unlike published CDs, such as FTM's World Family Trees and LDS's Pedigree Resource Files). Thanks for reminding me to update my WorldConnect submittal. Oh, the LDS FamilySearch website databases shows 2 Peter TERRESs in that time period, one in Gusterath and the other Lampaden (both extracted from records).

There are two Manderscheids near Bitburg, one NW of Bitburg, and one NE of Bitburg. Do you know which is the one your family came from? You might want to check the online Familienbuch indexes here: http://www.genealogienetz.de/vereine/wgff/trier/ Click on "ABC-Listen," then the townn name. If you can tell us more, we might be able to help more. Good luck, Kathy

Hi Folks, I lost all of my German genealogy to Hurricane Katrina and now I'm trying to recreate my German family tree from memory. A few years back Werner Licher helped me with my searching. His help was indepenceable. >From memory, I recall Peter Terres/Therres, born in Manderscheid in the late 1700.

Werner, My family came from the Bernkastel area. This is what I had found on the LDS site Antonius Nierschbach ( Christened Feb. 13, 1840) Katholisch Filzen Bernkastel, Rheinland, Preussen. The only other thing I have is a post card (somewhere) of the Trier area stating on the back that that was where the family came from.

Hello to all, especially to those sending me an off-list mail with questions and "ask for help". Due to the multiple spam we all fight against it can easily happen that your mail is ending unopened in my dust-bin. I am always willing to help , but please mark your mails in the reference-line already with "Rootsweb".

Donna, do you mean Filzen in the Saar valley or Brauneberg-Filzen in the Bernkastel area? If you mean Filzen/Saar in the direct vicinity of Trier, its name today is Konz-Filzen as this tiny village is now part of the city of Konz (Konz: 18.000 inh.). Konz is situated 10 Kilometer west of Trier, where the Saar River flows in the Mosel River. Filzen lies in the Saar Valley and the area is famous for its riesling wines. Abt. 350 people are living in Filzen today, there are a lot of old houses and two very nice winerys from 18th century, called Weingut Piedmont and Weingut Reverchon. At the site behind the following link you'll find 7 links with pictures in Filzen. Look for Konz-Filzen in the Link-List. http://bwpc08.fh-trier.de:8080/kuDb/servlet/selectionObj?aktSchluessel=1950&anfrageId=a6116b68735 It is a very picturesque area worth a visit and the Riesling from the area is worth a try. I don`t know a lot about the history. The site mentioned says, the name Filzen comes from "Felsen", the german name for "Rocks". There are a lot of rocks in the Saar valley. The site says, the village was first mentioned in 1030. In Hamm, near Filzen, there was an important ferry across the Saar. If you look for the other Filzen, its called Brauneberg-Filzen as it is part of the village of Brauneberg (1200 inh.) If you look for Brauneberg, be aware: Until 1925 Brauneberg was called Dusemond. It changed its name for wine-marketing reasons. Brauneberg is very old, maybe roman. It was first mentioned in 6th century. As the other area, it is famous for its Riesling. It did not belong to the territory of the lord elector of Trier but to the County (Grafschaft) Veldenz, which was one of the very few protestant territories in the area.
