Hi Kathy,
I just now read about your 2nd great grandfather states he was born
in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
Can you give more specifics on what he said, what source, word of
mouth, a document, cemetery, obit, or/and exact words written about this?
This is a very important clue and will be very important as to your
next step in finding any archives.
Also can you provide your source of immigration you say about 1850
or 1851? Another very important bit of info!
Thanks,
Fritz

Hello Dolly,
Thank you so much for writing. I have been told about the split but all I
have to go on are old census records from my great, great, grandfather where
he states he was born in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Maybe it
would be better if I only searched Schwerin, Mecklenburg.
