Rob, that's fantastic. I'm in the midst of translating Dr. J's obituary from
High German-using a internet program. He was born in Trasadingen or
Trafadingen-I need to go back and look at it now that I know the difference
between the f and s that are similiar. He had a brother, Konrad, a sister
Ursula, my ggg grandfather's 2nd wife, and Magdalena, my ggg grandmother and
Karl Friedrich Doehring's 1st wife. He also has a son named Albert who died
in California-I found his obit by complete accident looking for another. I'm
wrong on the Missouri Synod-it was the North America Evangelical Synod.
Hopefully, your going to read Trasadingen or Trafadingen and say we must be
family. Let me know.

PS Is there a name I should be looking for in his obit? It's 3 pages
long-small type-and I've only scanned it.

Chris Doehring-
I have traced my ancestors back to Canton Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and
would love to compare notes. Have a bit info about some relatives who
emmigrated from there. Maybe something will run together!
