Hi Christof,

My great-great-great grandfather was Vincent Schoser, who was born around 1845 in "Hohenzollern" and immigrated to the US around 1870-71. Have you ever come across any information on him?

Great work with the blog!

Hi there,

Unfortunately, I do not know of any Vincent Schoser born around 1845. He could be related to the following Schoser family (http://www.myheritage.de/site-78886673/familie-schoser) who has lived in Trochtelfingen/ Hohenzollern for at least 300 years. The tree however includes only direct ancestors and no sons, daughters etc. who moved away.

Thanks for the info Christof. Do you have any ideas about who I could contact to try to dig up some information on Vincent, such as birth records? Are there any government offices/churches locally that might have that kind of information?

Thank you,
Anthony

Dear Anthony,

My best guess is the local parish register of St Martin. It is not digitised however and needs to be consulted on site (contact details at www.kath.kirche-in-trochtelfingen.de/). For Hohenzollern, an overview of parish registers can be found in the article "Verzeichnis der Kirchenbücher Hohenzollerns" by Franz Haug published in "Hohenzollerische Jahreshefte", Vol. 8 (1941, ed. 1949).

Good luck!
Christof

Hello. I must ask; since most of my family is already on here, just not me, how would I get on? I happen to be a Schoser!
