Does anyone know if there was a German newspaper printed in DC in the 1850-1900's? Or was there any other communication or club exclusive to Germans at that time? What other document would list a woman's maiden name other than a marriage license, death notice or will? I am at my wit's end trying to find a maiden name for a gggrandmother who came over from Germany and only listed Mary. Even her death notice did not give it - no will either. Thanks listers, Barbara

The Union Catalog Division of the Library of Congress lists all the known published foreign newspapers in their files. I know this because back in 1952 I worked in that division typing those files that eventually were printed in a book. Hope this is of help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
