I have just begun research on the family and I am having better luck with Adolph than my ggrandfather. What little research I have done Adolph sailed to the US at the age of 15 and went to Little Rock, Arkansas to stay with William. In 1879 he was working in St. Louis, MO. In 1881, he married Johanna Pfauntz (according to the 1880 census) on May 7, 1881. He and Johanna had one girl and two boys the youngest being Adolph Jr. Do you have any information on their parents by chance. Oh...they were born in Bremen, Germany
