I just joined the list and read the email from Maria. It contained interesting information. I saw IL mentioned. I'm looking for MARIA LANDER who was in St.Clair County, IL having children under the name Maria Wolf starting in 1866. I need to find her before this time as Maria Lander. I can't even find a marriage record. There was a Maria Lander age one who came to the U.S. (New York) on Sep. 3, 1835 on the Ship Charles Carroll. This could be her. She was with her father Caspar Lander, her mother, and a four year old brother, Joseph. Perhaps someone has an ancestor on that same passage and could write to me. I have been looking a long time. Good luck with all your brick walls. Darlene
