What german State are you working in?

I have no idea. Problem is, both of my mother's parents' families came here before Ellis Island so there's nothing for me on that website. And my mom doesn't know either. So I'm really at square-one there. I think my grandfather's mother was born in Germany but came here very young, again before Ellis Island and I haven't been able to get any clues beyond that. And the names are common: Weigand, Bayer

Hi all and wishing you a very happy fourth!

Good evening Mike

That is a great article. IBD has consistently good editorials.

I've used the LDS site for clues, only to steer me in a direction where I can either verify or research independently of it. They have too many entries for the same person, lots of issues with it.

did you do any researching in the Bavaria area?

Not as much in that state though I can give you some
info on the town and maybe some hints where you can
check. I will later fr mail to you

I have been to Bavaria, just beautiful.

Hello Dosers.. Happy 4th July !!!!

Thanks for ping Pat.. Snugs, I apologize... somehow I missed your ping.. in & out (just of house) a lot today & busy at Finest ... with a LOT of pings from here /there... but I do thank you so much for the hard work & for the lovely pictures & commentary.

My pooch Oliver is traumatized in a major way with fireworks. One reason I passed on outdoor concert with symphony & fireworks at Blossom. A few of the cats are also affected. Poor things. Just don't understand it all.

Happy 4th July how is going at camp?

[snugs2]

Thank you for those kind words Mike

What german State are you working in?

Baden-Wuertemberg, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, mostly.

I have many books of my own on German research
also I keep files on each German name and basic info
on the town, state, map, etc. which helps when doing
research.
Where did your German folks live in the US? and when?
and their names?
Mine came in 17 & 1800s and I traced them back to 1500s

I always feel sorry for dogs during fireworks my late Gizzy was absolutely petrified when she heard one bag or one flash of light.

Back in a moment just helping dad to bed

For my grandfather, they settled in Pittsburgh, PA. My grandmother was raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I admit my mom's side has received short shrift because my dad's side --especially my grandmother's side-- are much easier.

Time for me to say goodnight!

Hope to "SEE" you tomorrow.

God bless everyone who posts and lurks on this thread!

Goodnight Pippin!
