I have just recently found that some of
my relatives resided in the Mt. Clemens area from approx 1882-1887. This
family came from Germany and I'm slowly tracing them from Canada then
state to state it seems.
The names I'm researching are: Herman LUCHT who married Albertina ADAMS
in Baltimore, Michigan in 1882. Could someone please tell me where
Baltimore, Michigan is/was? I have found a New Baltimore close to Mt
Clemens, but I'm not sure if this would be the same place. I'm hoping
that someone may give me some guidance as to where I would be able to
obtain their marriage certificate. I know they were of Lutheran
religion.
The children that were born in Mt Clemens were:
Otto Lucht born July 27, 1885
Henrietta Lucht born July 18, 1886
Thanks for any help, all is appreciated at this point.
