Need Translation Help, Please

Roxanne Infante

I am looking to get this document translated. It is, I think, a record about Johannes Kohler and family immigrating from Wuerrttemberg, Germany. He is the last one on the page. I will also try to upload an image of the book cover that the record came from, if I could get that translated too. I appreciate all help on this and thank you in advance.

*Before emigrating, people were required to post a notification in the local newspaper, so that anyone who had an outstanding debt with them could collect before they left. So you should try to find any one of these three newspapers to see Kohler's announcement.

Hello @Roxanne Infante

you can download the PDF of the newspaper (Freitag 26. März 1847) here:

Thank you so much for your help. Having that translated has given me more clues about the family. Also, thank you for the newspaper hint. I have a lot to learn abt researching in Germany and am glad there is this forum to help.
