Virginia, i want to thank you for this site it has a variety of information including my ancestors, maybe not the one I am looking for but a sister's family Katharina Falter Hoffart that also immigrated. I must keep searching this as there could be more. It is so great to have so many responses to my query as there are lots of knowledgeable people that can help.
