I have narrowed my serach area down and was hoping somone on the list could offer some advice on my next step. From the information, I have, I would appreciate some tips. Of course if anyone is researching these surnames in this area, please let me know. Adam T. HEPP my GG Grandfather (immigrated to Troy, NY) in 1881 with wife Anna Marie (VOELKER) HEPP and five sons (US names of Conrad, Vincent, Charles, John Henry and John). They were from Wuerzburg(sp?), Bavaria in Germany. Adam was born in 1846, Anna in 1848. I do know Adam had a father (my GGG Grandfather) named Adam HEPP but have no additional information and but know his mother's name was Margueritte KHOL (? on spelling on both names as death certificate is very hard to read). Anna Marie VOELKER's father was Nicholas VOELKER but I have no additional information on him and none on his wife. The parents of both Adam T. HEPP and Anna Marie VOELKER are belived to have remained in GERMANY. Thanks Don Hepp
