My husband's grandfather came from Germany and the Ellis Island passenger
record gives place of residence as: "Forst if Lans" which I found to be an
unusual name.
Does anyone know where this place is in Germany or any information would be
helpful.
Many thanks from Jean in Connecticut.
About half of my German ancestors came from Sachsen-Anhalt the other
half from Thuringen. Would love to exchange with anyone interested.
