Germany and German Ancestry

Researching DABELSTEIN from Lubeck in Nothern Germany. Found that Ancestry has several records from Lubeck including birth records from the date range I'm searching, but had no luck finding Dabelstein name. I know that every record follows the same basic format, but could not read the majority of the record. But names were easy to pick out. Wish I could think of a more efficient way to search - or at least know which word in the record indicates the month. I know what the word for January is, but cannot figure out which part of the record has the date. I assumed it would be in the first sentence, but I may be assuming too much. Any hints appreciated!

I research my husband's German lines (all lived in PA after coming to USA):

Saxman/Sochsman (supposedly from Alsace-Lorraine area)
Schall
Sheffler

One of my immigrant German ancestors was Henry (Heinrich) GIMPER, born about 1733. He arrived in Philadelphia 2 October 1753 on the "Edinburgh" from Rotterdam with a stop in Cowes. I suspect he may have come from Daaden, near Siegen in the Westerwald (Rhineland-Palatinate) but have not been able to prove this. He eventually went to North Carolina and the surname evolved into Kimbro in the Orange County area. Others on this voyage were from the Daaden area, so I'm hopeful someday to make contact with other researchers who have explored the roots in Germany.

My immigrant ancestor was Johan Adam (anton) Hellenthal that came to Philadelphia, PA USA in 1753 via Rotterdam on the ship Snow Carlotta. Other Census information indicates St. Ingbert as his birthplace. He must have been 18 yrs at the least to apply for entry to the USA.

THIELKE - (Schwerin, Mecklenburg, Germany > Grafton, Ozaukee Co., WI)
LAST - (Doeringshagen, Pommerania [which looks to be SW of the current Płoty, Poland] > Grafton, Ozaukee Co., WI)
LUEDTKE - (Storkow, Pommerania [seems to be located just SE of Doeringshagen above] > Grafton, Ozaukee Co., WI)
BRAATZ - Germany > Wisconsin

Researching Lange family from Fulda?/Bremen, Kammerman family from Hanover, Schneider family from Berlin, Gottshal from Berlin-I think. Our Lange/Kammerman came from Germany to US/No.Nevada in 1882 & 1890. Schneider/Gottshal's came to US/W. Pennsylvania in 1886.

I am searching for information on the Barger/Barrier family from Stuttgart & Wuttenburg areas of Germany.
Michael Barger/Barrier came to Pennsylvania in 1752 and moved to Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina around 1759. He had four sons, George Henry Barrier, Jacob Barrier, John Barrier and Abraham A. Barrier. Abraham md. Elizabeth Reynolds in 1760 in Rowan County, NC. Their son Rev. Richard Barrier migrated to Wayne County, KY.

Hi, my German ancestor names are Haubach and Stottlemyer. Haubach seems to be a rare name in Germany and the US. Although there aren't many, no one seems to know if they are related to each other. Haubachs were from Hesse

Hi All,
The names we are researching are
Panitzki/e from Neufahrwasser, Danzig
Eggert not sure where born but died in Neufahrwasser, Danzig
Plehn (Bläm) Mulde bei Danzig
Kärsch again not sure where born but died in Neufahrwasser, Danzig

These are lines we have some infomation on but it's never enough.
We are finding tracing data in Germany more difficult than others and have put it on the one day list, but is never forgotten.

I am researching the Pabst surname from Germany. My gg grandfather was Charles Alexander Pabst, born 1842 in Saxony, Germany. His death certificate lists his father as Fredrich Pabst. A census lists his parents as both being born in Saxony, Germany. I know he came to the U.S. in 1862 (per census records), but have not been able to locate him on any passenger lists yet. I believe he came to the U.S. through New York as I have found military records showing a Charles A. Pabst enlisted in Buffalo about 1865. Charles then moved to Texas where he met and married Emily Davis in Burnet County, TX in the 1890s. She is presumed to have died and he then married Margaret Tow sometime later and had children, one of them being my ggf William Pabst. Charles never spoke of being in the service and some in the family believe it is because he fought for the Union then came down to live in Texas (the South). Charles is my brickwall as I do not know what his parents names are, where and which port he immigrated through to the U.S. and I'd also like to know more info about his parents and other Pabst family in Germany.
