The chances are you may find an ancestor or a line of them in it from among the 5 million plus Germans from all over the German Empire whose genealogy it contains. I am researching my grandparents and looking for information on previous generations. My grandfather had three half brothers who immigrated to the U. S. prior to him. She was the youngest of six with one sister and four brothers. Both Emilie and Martin worshiped in the German Lutheran Church while living at Great Falls, Montana.
Any information is appreciated.
I assume you have positive knowledge that your Selchow was actually in Posen and is not the Selchow that was in Pomerania. Beacuse FHL microfilm exists for some civil registration records in the Pommern location. They are believed to have immigrated to the USA about 1886. Stanis born 1877, Andrew born 1879 also Teresa, Alfred and Albert, birth dates unknown. I would greatly appreciate any information on the families of Johan and Ottilia and an exact marriage date.
