  1. BY NAME: When searching for a name, be sure to try different spellings.

Also, try American forms of German names for the German lines, and vice versa.

Examples: Heinrich = Henry;

Johannes = John;

Wilhelm = William;

Ludwig = Louis or Louie

Katherine: could be Catherine, Cathrine, Catharine etc etc etc

Elizabeth = Elisabeth, Lizzie ***If Elizabeth is the name, also try with ‘s’. Elisabeth.

Anne Marie = is often Emma

Remember also, that many people were called by their middle names.

Johann Georg = George

Johann Conrad = Conrad or Coonie

Johann Adam = Adam

Johann Heinrich = Henry

Katherine Elizabeth = Lizzie

SEARCH for various names. If you can’t find the family name you are looking for, do a search on the husband or wife’s name.

There aren’t as many with the same name.

5. BY DATE: When searching by date, look around. Years and dates may be off by 1. Census records can be off by a year.

Start by searching for just the month and date.

Cntl F example: Jun 12 The first 3 letters of the month only.
