Hi Listers,
Sorry about not posing this query in German. According to
the history of Morris County, New Jersey my 4th great grandfather
was brought over about 1760 from North West Prussia to New
Jersey to help build the first blast furnace in New Jersey.
I know the name Shauger/Shawger was modified by the English
and possible spellings might be Schwagier/Schwagiar as I
have come across these versions in Germany.
I have selected Mecklenburg as a possible location of North West
Prussia for the time period of 1760. I was contacted last year about
a Shauger family living in Norway.I could be very wrong about the
location.
Please advise as to the location and the name.
Regards,
Dwight J. Shauger
