Hi, I am looking for information on my family from Germany. I have
some information from census records and passenger lists but I am
missing many pieces. I'm including the list that I have because the
names are pretty common. August and Matilda and their children lived
most of their years in Bay City, Michigan. Herman and Matilda Dahms
lived in Chicago, Illinois. I have no information prior to this and
would like to know if anyone can help me locate their birthplaces and
other relatives in Prussia.
Thank you
Evelyn
