I am searching for a connection to Amand Halm. Born 1870, came to the US at age 15 from Germany. I didn't see another Halm on the ship record. Ship record read "Witten", Germany. His ship arrived in NY. According to his death certificate his father's ame was August. His mother's name Mary Paul. Do you have any ideas where I might lool for more information. i obtained his naturalization record and his work records. No clues. If you can't think of anything, thank you for your time. I'm just frustrated with this dead end. Sincerely, Peggy

Which Buechele's came to the US and when? Our clan came after the War with France 1870-71. They settled in Altoona, PA. Have you heard of any of our clan...Anton, Andreas, Englebert, Laundoline,Appolonia or Maria? They all came over except Maria. If you e er run into anything that can help us, please let us know. I really think that eventually we will connect these two Buechele families as relatives. nannyk@penn.com

Have enjoyed visiting your web page. I'm researching both my family and my husband's. Some have been relatively easy - all the way back to the 1500's and 1600's. Others a blank wall just past the grandparents. Having fun, though. Have been grateful t see, repeatedly, the notations that our ancestors on both sides were Christian people. We have a strong heritage of faith!

Comments:
A thoughtful collection of information on your various ancestors. The question of a Fishkill Orphanage has come up earlier this year on the Dutchess County query page submitted by someone interested in the WEBBER surname . My thoughts are that it was r n by the nuns who are now off Washington Avenue in Beacon. I am not sure of the religious order. I have kept that on a back burner as a matter of historical interest research for myself as the order used to be housed up the street from me. Should I come across anything I will let you know. good luck with your search.
