In reply to KQL's question: I had several films from a Kirchbuch, 1669-1930, The Katholische Kirch Schweich (Kr.Trier). The films were: Taufen, Heiraten, 1669-1775, 1798-1881 (FHL INTL film 556066; and Familienbuch 1740-1910 (which is where I found my grandfather, Johann Barthelmes.) In looking at the spelling of the word again I think it may be "Jaico." Thank you for any help you may give. Mary Cullen wmcullen@earthlink.net EarthLink Revolves Around You.
