His death certificate says he was born in Bayern Germany about 1819. He emigrated to New Orleans, La about 1850, plus or minus a few years. I do not have any information re his German roots, only those in New Orleans. Thanks, Max ==== BAVARIA Mailing List ==== Going on Vacation? Longer than 4 days?
