for years I have hit a brick wall trying to find my ancestor Christian
Crabiel - I have all the info from when he was in America - his census say he
was from Baden Germany, we always believed the Crabiel's came from Alyse
Lorraine (when German controlled)

Christian Crabiel - born 1832
came to US - we believe in 1852 (Milltown-New Brunswick area of NJ)
can not find the ship or port he came into in the US - no luck on Castle

maybe the last name was changed - the "C" in Crabiel seems more like a
french spelling (he definitely spoke w/ a heavy German accent - we have proof
of that also)
an 1880 census for NJ shows the spelling as Krieble (that is the only time
that spelling comes up)
I've tried all different possiblities on Castle - does anyone have any
other suggestions

If the above is not your man then he could come in through Philadelphia; Milltown is right next to the railroad line between Philadelphia and New York.
