 ;D  Hi

Names of  Jozef Alfuth later anglisized to Joseph Alford and his wife was Maria Alfuth nee Redman, later anglisized to Mary Ann Alford.

Thanks for any help

Hi Dawid

Wow after all this time to get your reply is wonderful.  I would love to know more about my husbands Alfuth family.

Is there anyway you can find them in the church books you mention.  I can give you details.  Thank you.  I wonder is your mother is part of the same family.  This is great.  Thank you.
