my great great great opa Carl Jansen built a mill and a church in Reinshagen. He says the name reflects "Haven on the rhine" from where his father died at sea.
Any info anyone on a "jansen" in Reinshagen. His son Edward Jansen born 1850 came to America in 1871 and Carl Jansen died in 1873.
Any info on how to look up the history of this town?
thank you,
Debi Jansen
