Alamo
There is an article in the May 10, 2004 edition of "Amerika Woche" an American newspaper written in German, on the Alamo. It lists a "Tuerwaechter, E." among the "German Volunteers in Sam Houston's Army" (from the Texas muster rolls of 1836). I don't have an E. Thuerwaechter, but thought the information might help someone. My Thuerwaechter family came from Freckenfeld, Rheinlandpfalz, Germany.
