Hi - I am doing a One Name Study of the name Blaker, found everwhere the old German language was used - Scandanavia, Germany, Netherlands, UK, eastern Europe and so on. If you come across this odd beast, I would be very pleased to know about it and thank you.

Hello,

I am interested in the Borchers family from Hanover, Niedersachen, Germany. Johann Heinrich Borchers, b.14Jul.1797; emigrated to the US and settled in Ohio in the 1820's. He married Catherine Lehmkuhl b.6Jun.1806. They were both born in Germany. Any info on the family anyone has would be appreciated. Thank you.

HI, Bob, Thanks for posting that link. I checked a few as I was scrolling through it- no luck yet, but it will take a while to check it all out. Have a good weekend.

My 2 German names are Wipfler and Stohner. If anyone has these I'd love to know.

I don't know anyone here has ever seen this site.

Some of the links are in German and may need to be translated.

I used babelfish you may want to use something else.

Are there any connections available to the Palitine region of Germany for researching the "Biehn and Merten" Surnames?

Marguerite,

Yes, you can check the catalog online.  On the homepage, just above the spot where you enter the name for which you are searching, there is line in smaller font that starts "Historical Records."  The third item on that line, in blue, is "Library Catalog."  Click on it.  On the new page, in the first box, use the drop-down arrow to find "film numbers."  Then in the box next to that, put the film number you found for the record in which you are interested.  You'll get the title of the film in purple.  Click on it to get to the details of the film.  If there is more than one title, that means that there is more than one church or whatever on the same film; just click on the name of the one in which you are interested.

Thanks, Catherine, for your very prompt answer! The one's I'm interested in indeed have film #s, so I'm hoping a bit more information can be found than is summarized on the page.You mentioned checking the film # in the LDS catalog--can this be done online?
