    Notes 
    • A relative of Sheryl Falk, Diane Kramer, indicated that after searching "Emigration Records and German Birth and Baptismal Records" she found their common ancestor, Andreas Falker, from Siefersheim, Hessen, about 48 miles from Darmstadt which is listed as where he was from on all records after his marriage records. She added that Lutheran Church Baptismal Records in Baden, Germany show he was born Feb 9, 1845. This is consistent with Walter Falk (Sr)'s "birthday book" entry of Feb 8 or 9, 1845. This also fits with his marriage to Katherina in a Lutheran church in Monroe.

      Diane added that Baptismal records list his parents as Adam Falk and Susanna Mebus Falk who married Nov 4, 1841.Adam's father was named Andreas, so it looks like Andrew was named after his grandfather.Andrew also had a sister Frederika Catharina Falk who was born May 14, 1843, two years before him. Susanna's parents, and therefore Andrew's grandparents, were Joh Lorenz Mebus and Catherina Mebus.

      The German Emigration Registry shows Andrew purchased passage (meaning legally registered to emigrate) April 1, 1867 in Mainz, Germany and listed his birth as 1845 and place of origin as Siefersheim. He departed later that same year, but from where exactly or the name of the ship Diane still doesn't have.

      In an earlier post to a genealogy message board, Diane indicated that Andrew died ca 1881 in Ohio.
