Just a suggestion, which may have already been covered, if the lady was b1846, and your ancestor migrated to USA in 1872, then I think the original photo was probably taken immediately before her marriage, obviously before 1872, and probably between 1866 and 1872. Worth searching for?

Prue - very generous of you to give Reichenau to Switzerland! :o


My fault for not reading all the details in the previous messages!  I was thinking of Baden which is a town in Switzerland that I've visited ;)

Hi Deb
I have been researching my German side from Baden Württemberg now for a year and regularly order microfilms with the parish records on from the Mormon Church of the Latter Day Saints (familysearch.org).  You can have these delivered to your local family history centre and view them there.

http://forum.ahnenforschung.net/forumdisplay.php?f=37 is a good site for German writing translation with the help of Peonie, Adrain and PrueM of course!  :)
I have found reading the old german fascinating and have learnt a great deal.

I went on a school exchange to Baden Wurttemberg in 1977  :)  Do you have any ancestors from Mockmuhl Gary?  It's a lovely region and I'd like to revisit one day.

Hi Roger

That's interesting.  What is your connection with the Glock's?

Going back to Deb's original photo, if I may....

Helena, legitimate daughter of Johann Evangelist Böhler and Anna Maria Zembrodt. Born at 1am on 25 August 1846 and baptised the same day at 5pm.

On 21 June 1869 at 9am in Mittelzell, Constantin Okle, batchelor, farmer, born 14 Nov 1841, son of Matthä Okle and Anna Maria Welti, married Helena Böhler, spinster, born 25 August 1846, daughter of Johann Ev. Böhler and Anna Maria Zembrodt. Witnesses Joseph Alois Zembrodt and Benedikt Böhler.
