I even searched Rootsweb and did not find him for the newspaper. When you searched Rootsweb, how did you enter the name? I will be glad to search again, if you can provide me with more information. I did find a Johan Berger in the 1880 Federal Census for Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, but he was 29 years old and born in Cumberland. His parents where born in Germany. This Johan is married to Katie (26), with two daughters Lissie (4) and Maria (2). Diane Leedberg Laferriere
