like....since ancestors came from those areas and all died long before
we even knew they existed cannot ask family members.
I do not have your original post but all I can suggest is to Google
Baden-Baden, Wuerttemburg or W�rttemburg
Halle and Saxony-Anhalt
( Pirl/Messner
names were from those areas and married into each family)

Googling Baden _Census I found this old GEN-DE list message:'
I have contacted the Statistisches Landesamt Baden-W�rttemberg on access to
the Baden census of 1855/1856 and they said it was published under the
following title:
"Beitrge zur Statistik der inneren Verwaltung des Groherzogthums Baden",
publisher: Chr. Fr. Mller'sche Hofbuchhandlung 1855 and 1856,
Does anyone know where a copy of this might reside? I could not find it in
the FHL library index.
Also Google Saxony + Census and Prussia + Census
And look in the FHL catalog.
