Seeking others who have members of this small family.
I have found four boys of my great-grandfather's same
age and name in the 1851 Census Index in just the sections
available so far!
Perhaps you can help me to eliminate one or a few of them
from further consideration!
My Johann Friedrich Heinrich Gansberg said he emigrated to
avoid military service in 1864, according to family legend and
the US Censuses.
However, the only plausible immigrant I have been able to
locate in online passenger lists, a "J.F.H. Gansberg" who is listed
as occupation: "Country Man," came much earlier.
If a real owner of that immigrant --- or of one of the "Fredericks"
born 1848-1849 --- is on this Mailing List, will he or she please
contact me ASAP?
Thank you!
