Ich bin der Liste neu und suche nach Information über Ferdinand CZERR, der von Preußen bis die Vereinigten Staaten 1886 (Hamburg nach New York) kam. Er wird auf seinen Einbürgerungspapieren, wie geboren, am 1/13/1861 in Rosenberg, Deutschland verzeichnet. Ich weiß nicht, welcher Rosenberg es ist. Dank - Kerri Leigh

Dear Kerri,

I believe that the Rosenberg you are looking for is probably
Kreisstadt Rosenberg, Kreis Rosenberg, Westpreussen. I know that
members of the Czerr family lived in Rosenberg in the 19th century. An
Elisabeth Czerr was the second wife of Gottfried Konkel, a brother to
one of my ancestors. These people all lived in Rosenberg. I have
microfilm of the church records of the Evangelische Kirche Rosenberg on
indefinite loan at my local family history center. I will check for
your Ferdinand the next time I go to my local LDS family history
center.

Richard,

Thank you. I was so pleased to receive your response. And I appreciate your
offer to check at the LDS family history center for Ferdinand. I have
ancestors from Fayette County, PA on my father's side.

I hope we can continue to stay in touch.

Kerri,

I checked the microfilm of baptisms for Rosenberg, Westpreussen
1856-1885 and found your ancestor Ferdinand Czerr. My translation of
the baptism follows:

1861, baptism No. 11, 7th legitimate male birth of the year, baptized
27 January 1861 at the Evangelische Kirche Rosenberg, born 13 January
1861 at Klein Brausen, FERDINAND CZERR, father: FRIEDRICH CZERR,
occupation ? Heglmann? or Justmann, mother: GOTTLIEBE geb. KALINNE,
residents of Klein Brausen, baptized by Pastor Hammer, Baptismal
sponsors (Pathen): Friedrich West, Wilhelmine Salewski and Wilhelmine
Konkel.

I can send you a copy if you are interested.

Richard,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look up "Fred's" baptism record.
Yes I would very much appreciate a copy and will be glad to reimburse you
for any costs.

I will send you my mailing address to your personal email. I will do some
additional research based on this information and forward anything on to you
that I discover. If there are any lookups or family history info I can
provide to you, let me know.

Thanks again -- Kerri
