Dear Lynn in Fl and Pete, Thank you both for your kindness in responding with the lookup info for me. Unfortunately, this isn't the "J. Wesenborn" I was hoping it might be. I'm looking for my g g grandfather, John Wiesenborn b. 1823 Sonnenberg, Germany who came to the US through the Port of New Orleans, LA about 1837-1839, settling in Illinois. Thanks again to you both!
