German Records! So close yet so far away...

[Berlin-Bob]

Oooops !!!   

can't read my own writing !  not Üblingen, but Überlingen 
There are two Überlingens but both are in Baden-Württemberg
i.e. more in direction Stüttgart than Nürnberg 

So probably still a red-herring !

Sorry !

Bob!
Still searching for my Schwarz family.  I will check my notes tonight and see where I saw the Schwarz organs.  Thank you so much for thinking of me when you were out.

I wonder if squirrels eat red herrings???   

Thanks again.- Kristin

Here are the organs that I found.  Who know if they are related but keeping my fingers crossed.  It seems that most things my grandma knew were correct.  Just a bit off but the substance was there.  Keep in mind she liked her gin when entertaining.

1908- Altham, St. Valentin
1912- St. Blaise, Black Forest, Germany
1796- Gaz Steiermarkisches Landesmuseum Johnneum- Franz Xavier Schwarz
1903- Munster, Radolfzell/Bondensee

Please excuse my horrible typing of german words.  I am sure it is really poor.

Bob,

Watch out or Nicholas will get spoiled with all the praise and gifts!!!?? But then again is it possible to spoil such a young baby.

I am tutoring him as I type on family history searching.  Some of his first words may be "Which way to the archives and where are the census records kept?"
