Parish for Engelschoff-Ruffel, GERMANY
I have found out that my ancestor, Johannus Anthonius Bauhaus, who immigrated to the US from Holland was from Engelschoff-Ruffel, GERMANY.
How can I find out the church parish for this area? I am quite sure that he was
Catholic and we have his birth date as anywhere between 1824 to 1832. He died in Ft. Wayne, IN, USA or possibly in Avilla, IN, USA on 30 Nov 1916.
He married twice... once to Johanna Manning about 1850, who was from HOLLAND, then to Josephine Fox in 1889. Josephine was from a father named Nicholas Fox. My descendants come through the first marriage.
He may have been a shoemaker, or a tailor.
THANKS.
Gerri Williams
