Hi John. OK, I will ask you about Jacob Wambach since a son of Johann Ludwig Wambach was named Johann Jacob Wambach, b. 23 Feb 1754 in Biedenkopf, Ger. Neither of these two have a death date in Biedenkopf and all children were born on or before 1764 in Germany. Is it possible that both relocated to Nova Scotia??? Did their families also locate in Nova Scotia???
