Dear listmembers, I offer a lookup for the following 2 books which I borrowed from the university library of Düsseldorf. They are both from Werner Hacker and their titles are : 1.) Auswanderungen aus Rheinpfalz und Saarland im 18. Jahrhundert 2.) Auswanderer vom Oberen Neckar nach Südosteuropa im 18. Jahrhundert If you want me to do a lookup for you, please check first whether your people really emigrated in the 18th century and whether they came from the towns of these regions. As a help I've scanned the maps of these books and put them into the web. So please check out for book 1 the map (115 KB) at http://private.freepage.de/kerntopf/trier-roots/rp-s.jpg and for book 2 (370 KB) http://private.freepage.de/kerntopf/trier-roots/on.jpg . Please state in your request whether you want a lookup in book 1 or 2, because I'm not so familiar with alle the place names of these regions. I'm listening to this list, because I hope to get connections for my wife's family, which is originally from the Mosel region, especially the villages Ürzig, Graach und Ernst. More about them, their names and dates, you can find at http://private.freepage.de/kerntopf/schaaf/schaaf.html.
