I have traced my gr. gr. gr. grandfather via census and marriage records and believe his was born William Antonio in Nassau in 1839. He moved to England, Liverpool and was married in 1866. He had 4 children and I have been able to trace a direct line to myself. The only other information that I have is from his marriage certificate which gives his father's name as Conrad. Any information or help that anybody can give in tracing other members of the Antonio family in Germany would be greatly appreciated. ______________________________
Thank you for replying. The marriage certificate was issued in England, Lancashire so doesn't give any information about German origin. All it gives is his fathers name. The only information I have that points to Germany is the 1881 Britsih Census record that simply states his birthplace as Nassau, Germany. Found this at familysearch.org. Rapidly learning that there is more than one Nassau, but don't know how to find out any more details. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Byers" <cabyers@frontiernet.net> To: "'Peter Antonio'" <peter@antonio2.freeserve.co.uk>; <HESSE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2004 6:41 AM Subject: RE: Hesse-Nassau question Which Nassau are you looking for? 1, Germany, Preußen, Hessen-Nassau 2.
