I am looking for naturalization records for my GGF, Frederik Kuntz. He emigrated to the US from LaHavre in approximately 1853. His port of entry was New Orleans. Of course, this was one of the years that the New Orleans records were destroyed. I have a note in my research that there was a Frederik Kuntz who filed for naturalization. It shows this is in Marshall County Book 2, page 12. I'm not even sure where Marshall County, Indiana is. He lived in Rush County, outside of Manilla. If anyone could assist me, please email. Thank you, Peggy Kuntz Barnes

Her mother was Mabel Deiwert. Mabel's father was Myron Marco Deiwert. His father was Anderson Deiwert. I've asked mother and cousins if they new any thing about Anderson, and the answer was he was never talked about. I have learned that he fought in the civil war, some research shows that he fought on both the Union and Confederate sides. Can you tell me more information about your grandfather? Thank you. Steve
