Hi Looking for information on the following families: Michael (born 1814, Prussia) and Katherina (Nordt) born 1816, Prussia) HERMANN Children: Katherine, born 1836 in Germany/Prussia John, born 1846 in Germany/Prussia In 1860 I find them in West Farms, Westchester Co. In 1870 in Morrisania, Westchester Co. By 1880 they are in Manhattan and 1900 Katherine is a widow in the Bronx living with her son. Second Family: John and Margaretha (Nordt) DORSTE/DORSTY Daughter: Mary Elizabeth was born abt. 1852 Son John was born in Croton-on-Hudson abt. 1855. Are these areas in Westchester Co. close to each other for the two families abt. 1850? Where would I find vital or church records for the early years, believe family was Protestant? Hope someone can help me. Thank you Marie
