Germany and German Ancestry

I've found some of my ancestors in Doggingen, Baden Germany. My grandmother's family came over in the 1880's (I haven't found their ship yet). I do not know the reason they decided to emigrate, I think that would be one of the most interesting things I could find out. My grandmother was a Straub, her mother was a Hildebrandt. My grandfather was a Link, I believe he was from Hausenvorwold, but my main computer is down at this time so don't have all the information in front of me. Would love to find anyone who has an interest in those names.

We traveled to Germany several and enjoyed walking through the Alt Friedhof's (old cemeteries.) We were lucky enough to come across the Sigle Family graves in Schorndorf and Alfdorf. What I find very interesting is, since a shortage of graves,or land for cemeteries, many family members are interred together and names just added to the family stone! We saw this numerous times!

For those who are sick & tired of constantly just posting & surfing for their Germanic Genealogy & not getting anywhere & are finally ready to hire a proven pro' to save them effort, frustration, time & money! If so, email karlmsala at msn .com your free dilemma, inquiry, problem, query...

There are some of my clients in this group, to include some for whom I have found digital documents, images & records, but have not had a reply! Your silence is both deafening & disheartening. The courtesy of a reply is requested for service rendered in your behalf.

If someone told me they found my Sala ancestor on a passenger list--let alone people of THREE of my ancestral target families, I'd be all over it.

My ancestors are from Momlingen, Bavaria and NuBach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

LAUMEISTER, GIEGERICH, REISMANN, WILLRICH, MOHR

I have found the best place to get information is to write to the church in the village they were in.. They were more then likely Catholic or Lutheran.

I have German ancestors woven into both my maternal and paternal ancestry along with English and Swiss [German-speaking areas]. I would like to know more about the ancestors of my second great-grandmother Apollonia Becker Bruce. Thanks to family history and microfilm records I know that she was born on 1 May 1838 near the village of Zemmer, in turn near Treves [Trier] in western Germany. Her parents were Ignatii Becker and Magdalena Platt, and they likely married about 1832 as daughter Catherine was born 4 April 1833. Both Catharine and Apollonia came to Wisconsin and have descendants. Any ideas on how to go back further on the parents? Thank you. Barbara

My Mother's side of the family came here from Germany. The RIEMER's come from the area around Wollin in Pommern, now Poland. Her SCHLAKE family was from Hullhorst, Blasheim and the area around Luebbecke in Westfalen. I have just begun researching these families and do not have much information on them.
