If anyone know's this family please contact me... Samuel Harris b. bet. 1800/1810 states on some census records that he was born in Germany and on others that he was born in Poland. I have posted to the German list and some members state that the boarders changed according to the census years as Germany and Poland were at war for many of the late 1800 census and so the change. I am trying to find some help tracing Samuel Harris back to his home land in hopes of connecting to some family back in Germany. Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from some of you soon. Thanks again, Cheryl Molino, Florida
