Surnames: Beltz, Lehrbach Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/7aB.2ACEAE/949 Message Board Post: Any information regarding the German immigration from Hesse Darmstadt to Ontario would be helpful. The Beltz family were in Buffalo, New York in 1850. Family lore has them leaving their home in Germany in 1848. Beacuse attempts to locate their names on ships to United States have been unsuccessful we think they came through Ontario. Margaret (mother) Frederick, John Albert, and William Henry are names we are researching. They were travelling with a Lehrbach family.
