If anyone has books/cds/documents that can provide me some leads about my
ggrandfather, William Henry Feld, born June 22, 1855, in Frieberg/Hanover
area. Immigrated to America in 1865. Lived first in Illinois USA, then
later moved to Chanute, Kansas USA. He died in December 1933 in Kansas.
Was
married to Mary Catherine Rensing, from Illinois.
He told us he came to America alone, when he was 9 years old, and that he
had no parents.
Any help will be appreciated.

Chuck,
I have no hard evidence, but there were FELDs at St. Liborius Church
(?Catholic?) in St. Libory, St Clair Co, Illinois. Members came from both St.
Clair and Washington Counties. I would check the archives of the St. Clair
County list on Rootsweb. St. Clair County Genealogical Society also has a
web site with St. Liborius data.
