Spies Family Album
Years ago we were in the Antique business.We bought the contents of a house in Illinois.There was a very old picture album in the house and I just could not bring myself to put it in the shop for sale.So for some reason I just kept it.In the album there are a lot of pictures and many empty places where the pictures have been removed.
On a very old piece of paper.At the top it reads
Records of Church Books in Urbach Fuerstenthum Schwarzberg
Sondershansenf of the Henry Christopfer Spies Family
Henry Christopfer Spies, eldest Son of John Christopfer Spies, born at Manteroda, April 22 1801, was married here on the 8th day of June, 1824 to Miss Marie Magelena Weise, born July 191802, and the following children were born to them here:
1.Henrietta Marie Magdelena Spies - born Dec. 14, 1826
2.Henry Christopfer Carl Spies - born Mch. 22, 1829
3.Louis Christopfer Spies - born Mov. 9, 1831
4.Dorothea Magdelena Spies - born Mch. 18, 1834
The above records out of the Church Books of here are hereby certified to be correct.
Urbah, September 15, 1862

There is another piece of Paper that has names and dates of birt from 1847 to 1891 all for Spies.Then at the bottom of that paper it gives Frederick R, Splace Sr. born Apr 22nd 1866 and Frederick Robert Place Jr. born Aug 1, 1902.
There are pictures (to many for me to list) but I will list some.Charles A. Place made in 1890 by a studio in Rochester NYA Family and it says on the back The Spies Tribe (before Albert arrived) Gert, Jess, Lou, Blanche, Geo. That was made at Stigleman Art Studio. one of F>K. Place Chicago, 1901
All together there is about 30 pictures.If these are your people please contact me.I would like to see them go to someone who cares.
