If someoe can provide info and direction, I would appreciate it. I don't expect anyone to do my work. First, is there a book available with the history of the Duchy of Nassau? Secondly, this is the problem. There was very little info passed down in the family as to to origin of my great grandparents. They came to the U.S. in August,1871 purportedly sailing from Liverpool on the ship "Abbysinia" to New York City. They then came to Iowa. On the 1870 U.S. census, birthplace for them is listed as Nassau and married in Baden. This is all that is known about them. I am the oldest of this family and I'm trying to establish their origin for my children and nephews and nieces. Any direction would be truly apppreciated. Thank you. Cas Endlein.
