I hope this is not off topic, but many of us are searching for relatives and sending for certs in other lands. . . In participating with some German mailing lists, I discovered a WONDERFUL site full of Frequently Asked Questions regarding searching Germany, etc, lots of websites, etc. (some new, some I'd seen before. . . ) Anyway, within the article, is a phone number for International Currency Express Inc, 1-888-278-6628; they apparently will send wire transfers much cheaper than most banks and a check drawn in foreign currency(ANYWHERE) for only $5. Noone around here in CA seemed to know about this; I haven't tried to use them yet myself, but thought I'd pass this on, just in case there was someone else out there like me who hadn't heard about this. .. hope it helps someone. . . the website for the German info is: http://genealogy.net/gene/faqs/sgg.html Sincerely, Pam ____________________________________________________ >

I have used the services of Currency Express several times and I highly recommend them. They were easy to use, friendly, and very prompt in sending payment. My researcher in Germany had no problems and no fees to pay at her end, which was important to her. Some places have you pay at this end and then they pay again at the other end. So, I would definitely recommend Currency Express at 1-888-278-6628 in CA. Linda in Wisconsin ----- Original Message ----- From: Pamela J.

I have information from a marriage certificate from 1892 for: minister John Lewis Kunkel whose address is listed as 328 Ring St. Could anyone tell me the name of this church, if it's still there, denomination, and area of town this is in?? Would the pastor have been around for awhile? Thanks so much for any help again. .. .Pam ______________________________________________________ > > >

The 1889 Milwaukee City Directory does not list a Rev. Kunkel with any church. Also, Ring Street is not listed in either the 1865 or 1910 Milwaukee City Directories. Perhaps this was a church/pastor in another city within Milwaukee County. Mary Popovich
