John Henry H III
In our genealogy research, I have been able to gather extensive information back to Johann H. We learned from his Civil War records and a marriage record that he came from a place called
Leutkirch Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany.
I am excite to continue research but now need to learn how to proceed as it is different from the resources we used for our American research.
Love to hear if anyone has looked for ancestors in Germany or other European Countries!
Wonderful photos! I love to see old photos and the stories behind them (even if they are not of my own…I could look at old photos all day…I love to see them when we are "antiquing", but wish that they had the stories of those in them.) What a wonderful treasure for your family, for sure!
Blessings & Aloha!
