I am searching for information about Peter John Dreher (b. 1848), his
siblings Elizabeth, Louisa, Bena, and Gustavus, and their parents
Johann
Karl Dreher (b. 30 Dec, 1813) and Anna Katharina ___. They immigrated
from Birkenfeld region of Oldenburg, and I believe it was in the mid
1850's or possibly as late as 1869. .I am told there is a Johannes Dreher listed in:
MOERSDORF, ROBERT. Die Auswanderung aus dem Birkenfelder Land.
(Forschungen zur Rheinischen Auswanderung, Part 1.) Bonn: Ludwig
Roehrscheid Verlag, 1939, pp. 96-174 which alphabetically list
emigrants
from the Birkenfeld region to America and to other parts of the world
in
