Hello: I am researching my ggrandfather John BURHOLT who was born in Cologne abt 1843. Does anyone know of a book (in English) that would tell what life was like in Cologne in the 1850 -1860. John BURHOLT left Cologne abt 1861 for the USA. Or perhaps someone on the list has some information about life in Prussia at that time. John was a cook - baker - confectioner when he lived in Ohio, USA Thank you, Barbara Nichols >From a very cold and snowy Michigan Researching in North Rhine-Westphalia: Burholt in Saxony: Freiwald, Riedel
