05 May 2013 - Today I had an important breakthrough in my research. I was able to find the German ancestors of the Diefenthaeler immigrants that came to Brazil in 1825. For the help I would like to thank to Rodrigo Trespach and to the researchers that publish their data in the Gedbas database.

18 Oct 2010 - Due to the research done by Gretel Bauermann, from Solingen, Germany, that kindly provided us with her data, I was able to advance a few generations more in Germany. The database was expanded with the ancestors of Karl Wilhelm Iserhard. Many thanks to Gretel Bauermann

20 Jun 2010 - I was able to advance a few generations of the ancestors of the immigrant Johann Jakob Ruppenthal that arrived in 1861. There were several Ruppenthal immigrants, some of them well documented, but for my branch I had no data in Germany. Many thanks to Heinz Schmidt a fellow genealogist that provided me with the sources in the Hunsrück region.
