Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YaW.2ACIB/987 Message Board Post: I am looking for the ancestors of my g-g-g-grandfather from Wuerttemberg, Germany. Johannes was born May 6, 1805 and his wife, Friederika was born January 9, 1805. They immigrated to the U.S. in June of 1857. They had nine children Johannes, Wilhelm Philipp, August, Friederika Magdalene, Wilhelmine, Wilhelm Phillip, Gottlob David, Phillip David, and Johanne Caroline. Their Citizenship Release Certificate is from Neckar County, Office of Cannstatt. I believe they could have been from Stetten Im Remstal but I have no documentation on that. Johannes supposedly held the office (similar to a sheriff) for 15 years with the satisfaction of William I. If anyone could give me further information on either Johannes or Friederika I would appreciate it.
