Surnames: Werner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wg.2ADE/1550 Message Board Post: I am trying to find the names of the parents of Jacob Werner & his sister Catherine Gorich (married in Will County). They came to America in 1847 from Langen, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany and both of them eventually settled in Morris. They came with their parents and 3 brothers, Phillip, Frederick, & Adam. I have located many Werners in Will County but haven't been able to identify the parents or brothers & sisters for certain as several have the same names and are all from Germany. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
