Hi Baerbel
Good morning. I have a question or many questions!. I have been in touch
with the Lutheran Church in Manistee, MI that my husbands family was members
of in MI. The man there said that maybe the Catholic church might have
perserved the records of the churches when the Polish took over Germany. Do
you know of any way of finding those records? Also does Germany and Poland
have any centeralized record depositorys? Alot of questions but i cannot
find any more info about the Bengsch-Brussat families.
Your links are so good but so far no hits. Are there any lists of ships that
sank coming from Germany in 1866?
Darlene
