I am interested in any information available on the SOUDER (msp. SAUTER)and FAULHABER and MUNZINGER family
migrations from Ohio, Wisconsin and Nebraska between 1830 and 1900. Walter Lewis Faulhaber was my gggg
grandfather as was Louisa Munzinger my gggg grandmother. Lewis (or Louis)Faulhaber was my ggg grandfather
as was Helena Souder my ggg grandmother. Around 1830 the Munzinger, Faulhaber and Souter families migrated
to the United States from Germany. Early in the 1830s these families settled in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio.
I only have record that Helena's parents moved on to Perrysberg, Wood County, Ohio. Helena stayed behind
with her new husband, Louis Faulhaber. Around 1850 Helena and Louis Faulhaber left Tiffin for Manitowoc
County (Reedsville) Wisconsin. Records show 13 children were born to them in Reedsville. Some of the children
moved to Iowa and Nebraska. Does any of this sound familiar?????

Date: 05 Jun 2002
I am seeking the name of the Wood County church over which a Rev. J. H. Newton presided in 1855.
Ancestry.com lists Rev. Newton as officiating at the September 15, 1855, wedding of my GG
grandparents and early pioneers in the Maumee Valley Henry Gerkins/Girkins and Mary
Brownsberger (the Brownsberger Quilt). It is hoped the church records will reveal previously unknown
information on Henry's life prior to their marriage the church having played a very major role
in the lives of the people during that period. What is known about Henry before 1855: He was born
in 1825; his parents arrived at the Perrysberg Dock from the east (on the Commodore Perry) in 1834,
and according his obituary (Toledo Blade, 2/17/1913), "a few years later both parents died, leaving
the lad to make his way in the world." The obituary indicates he initially worked on a farm in Wood County.
This information is being sought in preparation for a mid-summer trip back to the Toledo area (from Chicago)
to continue a genealogy project. Jim Girkins, Membership No. 1363

I'm 46 years old. I have just been informed by my Mom that I was adopted in Bowling Green, Ohio in 1955. All the information
she has given me is that my Father, twin brother, my Mother and myself were involved in an automobile accident in late 1955.
My Mother and myself survived the accident, but she was not able emotionally to care for me. I was adopted by Charles and
Eva Mauldin. Charles was stationed at the neaby Air Force base, and all the other information I have is the social worker's
name Mrs. Dilly. If anyone has any information as to where to find information or newspaper stories about auto accidents in
or around the time and place mentioned please contact me as to where to begin my search.
Thank you.
