The Miersch,
Fuchs, and Related Families Genealogy Page
You're evidently interested in
genealogy, and the names Miersch (also Mirsch, Mearsch) and/or Fuchs are perhaps of special significance to you. If so,
our internet contact could - and hopefully will - lead to a mutually
beneficial exchange of family history information.
The subject of this site and its genealogical records are the Miersch and Fuchs families which came from the Bublitz region in the German province of Pomerania. We believe they may earlier have lived in Dresden, Sachsen (Saxony), but this still needs further research.

The Mierschs left Pomerania to come to
America in the late 19th century. Photos in the links below are kindly
provided by David Mirsch. Of those who came to America in the 1880s we have been able to trace the following Miersch individuals whose last residence in Germany was Bublitz.
