Russell Can you find anything on KIRSCH from the Schankweiler, Bitburg area. Two brothers, both with the same name came to the US. ------NICHOLAUS KIRSCH born Oct. 4, 1835 was in US by 1853 ------NICHOLAUS KIRSCH born Dec. 4, 1843 was in US by 1865. He was by GreatGrandfather. Any other KIRSCH mentioned? I plan to go to Trier area for a few days this summer. Carrie Kirsch15@juno.com
