Hi Kenneth.I am interested in knowing if any of the information you have received from this part of Germany includes the family of Fredrich (Friedrich/Frederick) Michel who came to Union City, Hudson County, NJ, sometime before 1880 (where I found them in the census).I am researching this for a friend and this is their immigrant ancestor.Fredrich also had children Caroline, Peter, Fredrich, Philipie, Charles (?) and Louis.If father Fredrich is there (all children listed as born in NJ), he'd be born in 1816 (quite a bit older when he had these children, 50 when the oldest was born, and 67 when the youngest was born.)It's possible he had a family in Germany he left behind, but I just don't know.Some men waited to marry back then.Anyway, if you by chance have a Fredrich born in 1816, I'd be interested in seeing the information, if it is still available.
Thanks for making it available.
