    Notes:

    Need to visit Louisville Metro Archives to go through their records for John's feather renovating business:
    "In the 19th Century, businesses were required to get licenses. Based on volume or other criteria, a business was designated "First Class, Second Class, etc." The Metro Louisville Archives has some of that paperwork in a barely organized "Legislative Attachments" series. The breakdown at best is chronological so a visit to Louisville would be the only way you could find that "needle in a haystack.

    In regards to John's birth place, we can eliminate Nimburg and Eichstetten as possible birth locations in Baden of John Christian Kuntz or his parents. I did not locate one born between 1780 - 1835 with a first name of John, Christian or Philip. In addition, the surname of Deuringer, or other possible spellings of it, were not located in either town.

    In regards to ship records: [MICROFILMED] Hamburg departures did not begin until march 1 1852. The only listing for a john kunz was heading to Santos, Brazil. His name does not appear in the Auswanderer Baden Emigration Index. Does not appear in Württemberg, Germany Emigration Index, either.

    Not in: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL24357480M/Index_to_passenger_lists_of_vessels_arriving_at_Baltimore_1820-97sent an email to owner of kentuckiana digital archive because the courier journal issues from John's and wife's deaths are not digitized yet. We know Lena had an obit in the Journal, so John may have as well. He also could have an obit in the anzeiger german newspaper of the time.

    The priest who married John and Lena (Rec. Charles Joseph Boeswald) served the church of St Andrews at the time. One of the first Catholic churches in Louisville. The church was later absorbed by St. Paul, and all the records were sent there. Get this, St. Paul has a gap in their records of about five years, and right in the middle is the date that John and Lena got married.
