Lorri, there is no town Bergfeld in Hesse, there are 2 or 3 towns by that name in other states. Of course it might help if you'd tell us the name of the immigrant, date of arrival/name of ship so that we can check the actual passenger ship list rather than a transcription.

A Bergfeld search comes out as today's Barchfeld, Hessen-Nassau, Preußen. Since I know nothing about German geography (Prussia was near Germany, wasn't it? .^_^.), I'll leave you to follow the links from the search. And to any comments other Listees care to make. In addition to this list's webpage & forum, there's a Rootsweb list called Prussia-Roots that's very helpful with these kinds of questions, though I haven't been there in at least 1+ years. http://www.germanyroots.comhttp://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/DEU/PRUSSIA-ROOTS.html Good luck, Julia --- On Wed, 1/13/10, Lorri <[email protected]> wrote: ...the place he lived was BERGFELD would anyone have any Idea where this is?...
