I have spent 20 + yrs researching English lines but have never been able to follow my mothers German line. A Canadian birth certificate of one of his sons lists my mothers father, August George Birn as being born on Dec 11 1878 in Hielbron Wurttemberg. The newly opened Canadian immigrant database has him arriving in Canada in 1904 from Liverpool. Is there anybody that can point me in the right direction of where to start in Germany. I am not able to come up with any Birns surnames in Germany. I would appreciate any direction or help. I have also been sent a photo of the Birns family outside a home in Europe..a huge longshot but would anybody be willing to look at the photo and suggest date or location ...perhaps by the kind of cloths worn by the family or such. All in all, a family of mystery. Any help gratefully received.

What does it say when my GGP's lived in Hohenzollern, but neither appear on the BW emigration list when they do appear on Castle Garden and Ancestry immigration list? They raised three children in Sigmaringen, Hohenzollern and appear on the passenger lists on both Ancestry and Castle Garden. I have shecked many different spelling in case their names were spelled wrong. They came over to America 3 months apart. Thanks Dave
