To Werner Lichter and all My grandmother, Anna Margaret Seifert, came from the Trier area to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1847. She was born in the village of Beuren (formerly Reuren) in1837. I'm looking at a map. From Trier, go south through Konz and down the Saar River to Saarburg..Take Rte.407 south to Trassen, then southwest through Meurich to Kirl, then right turn and west to Beuren. I have a list from a passenger list arriving in New York in 1847 which I believe to be her family but I'm not sure.I think her mother (my g grandmother) was Margaret Nelles. The Nelles I'm sure of (maybae not the spelling) but that's not on the passenger list, only "Marg." I'd like to verify the maiden name, maybe through church records, of my g grandmoither and of her children (my grandmother's brothers and sisters), but I don't know how to do this. My grandmother married my grandfather, Patrick Wallace in 1867. My father was born in 1871, and I was born in 1922. Werner, I applaud your creation of a data base of immigrants, Trier to Wisconsin. I've followed your name on the list for some time. You're a good friend to all of us - we owe you a lot.

The Mormon church has microfilmed church registers from the area. Their catalog is online here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp If you do a "Place Search" for Beuren, you will see that the church registers from 1712-1890 have been microfilmed. These can be rented and viewed at Family History Centers (FHCs). If you call a Mormon church in your area they can tell you where the nearest FHC is, and the FHC can help you obtain the film. Good luck! Kathy
