Comment by Diane Lenz Schmidt on July 20, 2009 at 5:46am: I made one mistake, John Fisher died 5/11/1934, Boniface Schmidt died 5/14/1873.

Comment by Diane Lenz Schmidt on July 20, 2009 at 5:44am: I am searching for info on John Fisher - Born in Germany 9/15/1855. Naturalized in 1875. He was a blacksmith and I know he lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and ended in St. Louis where he died 5/14/1873. I am also trying to find out about Bonifacius (Boniface) Schmidt and Julianna Kern Schmidt. I know he was born in 1824 and lived in Hebersheim Baden. She was born 3/14/1825 in Ringsheim Baden. I don't know if they came here together. They were married in St. Louis 11/27/1850. Any help would be appreciated.

Comment by Kate Steere on July 19, 2009 at 3:13pm: I'm researching my Golze, Maisch and Jakob lines. My Maisch family appears to be from Hanau, I'm not sure what part of Germany my Golze line originated from, and my Jakob lines appears to be Austrian.

Comment by Jeanne Mest on July 19, 2009 at 2:08pm: I would like to trace my ancestor, John Mest, born about 1822 in Wurttemberg. The name may have been spelled differently, possibly Moest. I do not know the town he lived in or his immigration info. Not even sure on the last name of his wife, Anna Kohler or Fosler. They came to the US with one son about 1 year old, settled in Sheldon, Wyoming County. They may have been in Berks County, PA before coming to Sheldon, as there are many Mests there.

Comment by Art Womer on July 19, 2009 at 5:20am: Looking for Wommer ancestery in Saar region of Germany. Have ancestors back to 1641 time frame, but nothing earlier. Ancestors settled in Eitzweiler, a small village west of Freisen. Show having two children, Anna Mary (Marie) & Hans Michael.

Comment by Elaine L. Fisher on July 19, 2009 at 1:13am: At present this is a disappointment. There are no instructions, and I sent a message to which I received a notice that a comment was left. However, I don't see it in the discussion forum or in my inbox or in my regular email.

So I am frustrated.
