Dear Histres,

Thanks so much for this information, is there any mention of John Louis William Schwab's parents? or even his sister?

I think it is likely that more of the family came over too - seeing as atleast one other of the JLW Schwab's siblings came.

How do i search the Künzelsau archives?

Best wishes and many thanks,

MeenzHunter

Hi Histres,

I am happy to accept any suggestions.

Frederick John Meenz was born in 1831 and was naturalised in 1860
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=7&CATID=-2201552

He was married to Susannah Dorothea Schwab (1825) and had 5 sons one of whom is my ancestor born in 1960 in wakefield

Susannahs Brother was called John Louis William Schwab (1816) and he was naturalised in 1955
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=7&CATID=-2200354

Both Frederick and Susannah are described as pork butchers in the censuses as are the Schwabs.

Best wishes,

MeenzHunters

Hi,

I am researching my own family tree and have stumbled across German Pork Butchers...

'Mine' are from Wakefield and the names are Meenz and Schwab

(on the NA website they have naturalisation papers - does anyone know what info they can provide?)

the online index says that the families originally came from Wuertemberg.

I would be grateful for any advice anyone can give to me in pushing my research back.

Best wishes,
