Hello Phyllis, the family Bernardy-Klinkhammer is found ! In the emmigration book "the america emmigration from the county of Daun in the district of Trier in the 19th century" written by Josef Mergen in 1958 I have found the "permission to emmigrate from Prussia" from this family. The book is written in german, but translated the entry means: No.705 The shop-keeper Heinrich BERNARDY, born January 29,1831 and his wife Katharina Klinkhammer,born April 04,1832with the following children Bernardy, Elisabeth, born September,18,1861 Bernardy, Wilhelm, born June, 06,1862 Bernardy, Peter, born February, 10,1866 Bernardy, Anna Maria, born December, 30,1867 Bernardy, Johann, born September,04,1869 Bernardy, Katharina, born June, 06,1872 emmigrated with permission of March 25,1881 in this year to USA. The family lived in WIESBAUM county of Daun in the Eifel vulcanic lowlands. Thias is about 35 miles northeast of Trier. The original permission documents can be found today in the central country archive of northern Rheinland-Pfalz in the city of Koblenz. sincerely Werner LICHTER living in the Eifel lowlands near Trier in Germany ------------####################------------------------------ Phyllis schrieb: > > I am trying to locate information on my great grandparents, their name was HEINRICH BERNARDY and CATHERINE BERNARDY ( maiden name was KLINKHAMMER).
