Possible. I do think that there should be a manifest being that he was naturalized but than again those naturalization petitions before 1906 do not contain any information especially no name of a town. You could try to request his forms. Did you check into the church he got married in? Did he live long enough for social security numbers? A map of Austria of old: http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/austhung.htm http://linktoyourroots.hamburg.de an Emil GREGOR shows up in that site. We need to locate a precise Garten in order for you to proceed with the research. Does he/family show up in 1910, 1920 or 1930 census? Just grabbing for places to look. What was his wife's maiden name? Maybe you can follow that line. Zlatica
