Hi, I've recently discovered my lineage from John K. "Cajetan" Ayd, who was one of the leaders of a group of immigrants in 1841 from Baden, Germany. I'm descended from his daughter Catherine Ayd who was born in Hamilton County in 1843/44 and moved with Cajetan and a group of pioneers to Minnesota in 1854. I'd be interested to find more information on the Ayd family. Is anyone researching the Ayd/Aydt family in Hamilton County? If so, please contact me. Thanks, Ken Weber
