I am trying to trace my family and am having a terrible time. Here is all I have my ggrandfather - George "Emile" Hamm b. 4/1875 in Germany - Immigrated to America - (Laurel County Kentucky) in 1892 - Died there in 1900. He married my ggrandmother - Mary C. Lees born November 20, 1879 in Colmar, Alsace, Lorraine to Xavier and Madeline Lees. (They immigrated to the US, in 1883). There is a John Hamm who witnessed the marriage but I am not sure if this was his father. How can one track the family line, or find a birth certificate or the passenger list or anything. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks, Terry Ann Hamm-Davis
