Hello Al, Happy New Year and welcome to the list. [Do you know anything about plumbing?:) It looks like I'm probably going to spend the rest of the day solving a sump pump problem.] About your Johannes Georg Langohr, [you wrote Johanne = female; George in Germany has no 'e' on the end]. I found him listed in the Wuerttemberg Immigration Index as having applied for a passport in 1853. Considering his location in Germany, chances are he emigrated from the port in LeHavre, France. The problem now is his date or at least the year of birth, whether he was single or married with children when he arrived in the US. What name did he go by in the US/Canada? Was it John or was it John G., or was it George? There is also the chance that when emigrating from France, he may have been traveling under the name of 'Jean' not by his choice but by the whim of the captain or whoever registered him on the ship. Without the vital data it is difficult to determine with any degree of certainty that the George Langohr found on a ship is the one we're looking for. Did he ever reside in the US? If so, when and where - need year, state and county. I noticed several female immigrants by the name of Langohr, so the more info you can provide the better the results.
