Heinrich Tigges b. ca 1846 Prussia
My Henry arrived in New York from Sachsen, Prussia, age 18, traveling alone, in 1866. He married Augusta Stark probably before 1875 when my grandmother, Maria (Mary, Mamie) was b. in NYC. They then traveled to Oregon where Augusta died. Henry returned East with his daughter (only child), lived in New Jersey, remarried and died there in 1904.
He does not seem to be associated with the Iowa families but maybe was related to William Heinrich Tigges of New Jersey.
I would love to find his parents. Help, anyone?
Thank you.
