Document Archives
To keep the file sizes down, in most cases only the pertaining sections have been copied. The larger the file size the longer it will take to download and display, so please be patient. Most of the census records are in bad shape but readable, and all of the Luxembourg documents are written in Latin. I have several hundred records and will be posting more into this section as time permits. ENJOY!

- Fanfare Garnich (HTML, 17 pages) - This is a chapter from the book "Fanfare Garnich" that deals with Dahlem (located in the Garnich area of Luxembourg), it's history and it's immigrants to America. Scanned, OCR'd and translated from the original German text by computer software (I don't know German), it is far from perfect, but contains lots of information about both my Michaelis ancestors, and other people who lived in, and immigrated from, the Garnich & Dahlem area of Luxembourg. Interpretation suggestions are both welcome and encouraged.
- Warranty Deed (HTML, 1 page) - An 1877 Warranty Deed on 80 acres of land in Newbury Kansas purchased by Catherine Michaelis. I am unsure if this is in relation to the actual homestead land or another piece of property.
