[Dannemois]

Hello
Can someone please help me find details of Valentine Jacob Hermann, born 17 April 185(?) last number looks like 6 at Malstatt, Rhin province, Germany.

Thanks in advance

If it will help I found him in Queensland Australia, unknown when he arrived there.  Located a marriage certificate for March 1897, he was aged 39 years, birthplace looks like Barbruken? Germany.
 father was Henry Herman, mother Catherine Grundel

Malstatt is near Saarbrücken, close to the French border.

Hi Dannemois

Marriage:  23.10.1855 Herrmann, J.H., Tagloehner und C. Grundel, Mallstatt

Birth:       5.1.1856 Joh. Jacob, Sohn von J.H. Herrmann, Tagloehner, Mallstatt

Birth:       26.1.1859 Luise Henr. Tochter von J.H. Herrmann, Tagloehner, Malstatt

A very kind person has transcribed for Ahnenforschung.Net Birth-,Marriage- and Death Registers for Saarbruecken from 1827 to 1859 which appeared in the local paper. Unfortunately a couple of the registers for April are missing. http://www.f0orum.ahnenforschung.net/showthread.php?t=37087
It's easy to read as family names are mostly bolt.

I found Jacob Valentin in the "Deutsches Steckbriefregister 1879 "(Hermann, Jacob Valentin, aus Malstatt, Polizeiproklamation zur Person)

Hope this helps, regards Peonie

Hello Peonie
I found his naturalization papers only yesterday.  The rootschat link you sent I had not seen before and found it very interesting.  Many thanks for your efforts and time, your help is much appreciated.
