Wish I could have been more helpful to you. No problem. It was kind of a stretch anyways. When I was there, we didn't find much in the outlying cemeteries either. My family was mostly buried in the Augusta cemeteries (East Lawn & West Lawn). >Did you enjoy >your visit in Augusta? It's a nice little town -- I spent many of my >childhood summer days there! As they say, it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I live in the suburbs of a major city (Vancouver, BC) and find the small town atmosphere very alien to what I'm used to. It's a nice little town though. >BTW, what time period are they from? The KNUTHs settled there around 1868 after the civil war and some still live in the area. It was the KNUTH family reunion that I was visiting for. The LAMBRECHTs arrived directly from Prussia in 1871, settling in the same area. I'm not sure if there are still any LAMBRECHTs which are related to me living in the area. I am aware of some with the same surname, but haven't looked for any relationship yet. Oh, btw, I have a few obituaries of KNUTHs that lived in the area. However, I don't know the source or exact date of publication yet. When I find that out, I'll submit them for the website. There's one from 1913, and the rest range from about 1942 to the 1970s or so. I need to contact my cousin in Fairchild for the info as she only supplied me with the text of the obituaries. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brad Babcock [email protected] Researching: KNUTH, LAMBRECHT, WEGNER, LU"TKE in Wirsitz, Posen TOMKE, NEMITZ, JACOBS in Pommerania ----------------------------------------------------------------
