He was in Pittsburgh and so was my greatgrandmother, Franziska Mahrer and her sisters Fridolina, Mathilda, Mary and brother Urban and possibly their mother. Their father was Gregor Mahrer and (Maria Anna Schyb?) My family seems to think there was another sibling, but of that I know nothing. It wasn't Henry and that I know. I have not been successful regarding my greatgrandmother's family when I wrote Möhlin some years ago. However, I mentioned Henry and received his birth record. I can mail it to you, but it would have to be through regular post. He is not my direct ancestor but is surely related. By the way, the Mahrer surname came to Möhlin in the 1500s. It's in the History of Möhlin, but there are no details. Please reply on my email address.
