My 2nd-great-grandfather, Sylvan REBHOLZ, was born 6Feb1822 Kreenheinstetten, Messkirch, Baden, Germany. He was married 17Jul1854, Newark, New Jersey. I don't know his year of immigration, but I would place it at 1850-54. His youngest child, John REBHOLZ, was born 26Apr1855 NJ/NYC. Sylvan was married to Justina FECHT, born 1831, Germany. When did Castle Garden come into existence, and is my ancestor found there ?
