Data on computer means only names, birth and death dates, marriages and dates, not too much history. Family history is at the beginning of each volume. To all of the above mentioned people I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for making this information available to me.
The information from all these sources was consolidated and edited into this and other books to come. There may be families left out by error, but to the best of my knowledge this book is as complete as the information I have. My apologies to those omitted for any reason. I have about 33,550 names and over 9,650 marriages listed on my computer at this time (2000). Some of the books had only dates and some had the place names, so I consolidated the information the best I could.
Each person is assigned a record identification number (RIN). These numbers never change throughout this book. A number is assigned to each marriage and family group (MRIN). A MRIN and Family Group Number is the same. A "+" before the paragraph number indicates that the person had descendants. The number following the person's name is the record identification number (RIN). The MRIN number is listed behind the marriage date. Some of the dates before 1870 may be from the Julian Calendar and will be twelve days earlier than the Gregorian calendar, which is in use today. Most initials in the names in these books are the mothers last name initial, which was very common in the German families. Also you will note that if a person had 2 initials, the first initial was the initial of the father's first name, and the second initial was the initial of the mother's last name.
