Hi Listers, I am researching Jacob Christoff MANGOLD born in Esslingen on 5 July 1848. Jacob's apprenticeship of five years with the firm Kessler in Esslingen (which manufactured locomotives in particular) qualified him as a trained fitter. He left Germany before 1865 to go to England and then South Africa where he settled. He had a brother Carl who was born in 1850 who joined his brother later in South Africa. I'm looking for any info about Jacob, his ancestors and his life in Germany. Penny Mannheim nee Mangold
