Please tell me if you know anything about the following families.

HERZ, ROESSLER, MAY -- New York City

Daughters of Aron HERZ and Sara born SCHLESINGER: either Marie HERZ (20 Jan 1878 Kochendorf, now Bad Friedrichshall, Germany-????) or Anna HERZ (22 April 1881 Kochendorf, Germany-???? ) married a R ROESSLER in New York City.

Do you know this ROESSLER family and what happened to the sister who didn't marry R ROESSLER?

What also happened to Marie and Anna's sister, Lina HERZ (13 Jan 1886 Kochendorf, Germany-????) who also emigrated to New York City and was a dressmaker? And also their sister, Hedwig HERZ (30 Jan 1879 Kochendorf, Germany-????), married an Unknown MAY in New York City? There were two sons, Milton MAY and Bernard MAY.

What also happened to the sisters' cousin, Anna HERZ (30 Sep 1865 Kochendorf, Germany-????), daughter of Nathan HERZ and Regine (Frederike) born HIRSCH, who emigrated to New York City? If her descendants are out there, I have information on her sisters, Hannchen (Hannah), Lina, Julie, Emilie or Amelia, Clara and Fanny and her brothers, Emil and Jacob! I am descended from Aron and Nathan's brother, Leopold (Löwe) HERZ.

STERN (STARR) - Heppenheim an der Bergstraße, Hesse, Germany>USA
MAYER - Columbus, Ohio, USA
MELA - New York City, New York, USA
WEXELBAUM or WEIXELBAUM - Ohio, USA
GRÜN, GRÜNEWALD, MARKUS - Hesse, Germany

Do you know anything about descendants of Salomon STERN (8 Sep 1810-22 Nov 1880 Heppenheim, Germany) and his wife Henriette born MAYERFELD whose step-sister Jeanette MAYERFELD married my great great grandfather Feist STERN, Salomon's brother?

Or another brother, Mendel STERN (27 March 1815 Heppenheim, Germany-????) or sister Mameth STERN (25 Jan 1820 Heppenheim, Germany-????)? Or maybe from their niece Bertha (Betty or Bettie) LEVI (ca 1864 Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio-????), daughter of Louis LEVI and Hindle (Hannah) born STERN, who married Abraham MAYER of Columbus, Ohio?

Or descendants from Feist's first marriage to Jette born WEIS from Mainz? Eva STERN, later STARR, who lived in Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, USA married Solomon MELA of New York City in 1882. Solomon MELA may have had a relative William MELA involved in the shoe trade in New York.

Or maybe you know about the family of Eva's younger sister Jette STERN (17 Jun 1849 Heppenheim, Germany-????)?

Then again, perhaps you know something about Feist's second marriage to Jeanette MAYERFELD and the descendants of Abraham STERN (5 Jul 1853 Heppenheim, Germany-1875 Ohio, USA) who may have married Hermina WEXELBAUM or WEIXELBAUM in Lawrence, Lawrence County, Ohio, USA?

Or the descendants of Abraham's sister Malchen STERN (7 Jun 1857, Heppenheim, Germany-????) or Anna STERN (18 April 1859 Heppenheim, Germany-????), sisters of my ancestor Leopold STERN?
