I am also researching the Dittus family from WUE,DEU>Queens Co,NY. My great-great-great grandfather, Michael Dittus emigrated from Schömberg in Württemberg, Germany with his wife (Christina Kling Dittus) and five childen (Johann Jacob Friederich, Michael, Cristine Katharine, Gottliebe George, and Elisabethe). They aplied for permission to emigrate in 1846 as per my newly translated Application for Permission To Emigrate in 1846. I have definitely connected them as being the Dittus family in Manhattan (Ward 2) in the 1850 census. I have the Manhattan marriage certificate for my direct ancestor, the oldest son, Johann Jacob Friederich Dittus, born July 25, 1824 to Barbara Frey from September 3, 1854 which matches the birth date given in the Application for Permission to Emigrate.
I have gotten sidetracked recently from pursuing this further with all of the Hooper research that is proving to be so fruitful. However, I have just ordered the films for Schömberg from the local LDS library and will hope to have more to report shortly.

Joanne,
Great idea on the blog. Good luck with it.
This past week I received an e-mail from Hank M in NC in response to a 2004 cousins connect post I had made.
His family is in a round about way related to Aunt Gladys Biggs Dittus (Uncle Hennie-Michael Henry). At a very young age Hank's youngest sister had a baby. The father of the baby (they never married)was the grandson of Aunt Gladys' mother's sister. Finally I've been able to get something on her! When I sort it all out, I'll send you the info. Debby
