Hello...I am searching for the above, Paul Vetter married Josephine Kri chel in 1922 in Kohlsheid, Germany.

A son, Walkter was born July 2, 1925 in Kohlsheid, Germany

They emmigrated to New York in Feb 192 9 from Hamburg, Germany on the S/S HAMBURG

Paul was born Hockeheim about 1895-1899. Paul returned to Germany at some time and died there in 1971. His father was Mathew/Mathius.

Josephine Krichel was born in Richerich on Jan 1, 1900 (isn't that agreat date to be born?) She died in New York 1962. Her siblings were Gertrude,

Ida, Henrich, Peter and Marie.

Do you have census records or info that would help me find families of the above? Thank you, Lindy Wise, Fort Pierce, Florida

Hi Lindy,
sorry I can't help you much, except for one or two little ideas which may
be worth following up.

May I say, without being too schoolmasterly, that you seem to have quite
a few spelling mistakes in the place names and names of people.

What you call Kohlsheid seems to be the town of Kohlscheid in the region of the
city of Aachen in Germany. Merely the letter 'c' missing, but it does make a difference
in the German language. The way you spell it it sounds like a place located in an
area of Heide = Heather.

See here the official website of the town of Herzogenrath of which Kohlscheid
is a part:

Kohlscheid on Wikipedia: Kohlscheid – Wikipedia

Church St. Katharina in Kohlscheid: http://www.st-katharina-kohlscheid.de/

Pictures old and new of Kohlscheid: http://www.st-katharina-kohlscheid.de/

If you put Kohlscheid into Google you will find many more websites which may
be of interest to you.

Most important I would consider: WGfF | Startseite

which is part of genealogy net as you can see. The person who might be able and willing
to help is Michael Brammertz in Aachen, here is his e-mail address as given on the
above mention website. I am pretty sure he will be able to communicate in English.

I assume the name would be Walter.

Must be Hockenheim.

This must be the Richterich which is very near Kohlscheid and nowadays
a suburb of the city of Aachen.

See here: Richterich – Wikipedia

Part of the website is in English: www.aachen.de - General Information

The church St.Martinus in Richterich: http://www.st-martinus-ac.de/

Again in Wikipedia you will find lots more of information.

Hope one or two of these web addresses will get you going, 1922 is not too
far back.

All the best.

Thank you, thank you...and value your suggestions....the spelling has been from word of mouth and am happy to have it corrected, since I don't speak

German (nor does the person who gave me the information). Maybe now I will have some success in my search, and thank you again and yes..the town is

Kohlscheid in the reegion of Aachen. Lindy Wise
