And christine. As said Manton Michigan. Do you think he was born Mecklenburg germany. I wonder why he chose Michigan. Whom did he know who was going there? Or Aleady there? I will try to do some more checking. I am not familiar with researching in the Mecklenburg area. I almost think this Louis born 1838 could not be mine. After all. But I know so little about cousins etc of my family to say. I was looking for a brother to William and Friedrich, who both have name Jurgen Heinrich in first two names. I know we have Carpenter in the family. I just do not know where and with whom.[smile] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
