My 2nd great-grandmother was Gesene Brigglen b. abt. 1829 in Hannover, d. 1898 in NY. She married Adolphus Schmits (1827- Prussia -1896 Hoboken, NJ )must have emigrated to NY before 1853 as their children were born in NY (Elizabeth Frederica Schmits 1863) my 1st great grandmother.
Do you have any mother or father information on Gesene? or marriage or emigration?
thank you very much, Joan Buck Smith
