Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nMB.2ACI/85 Message Board Post: I am a historical researcher looking for members of the Solingen Emigration Society who may have settled in Gasconade County. This group came from the area around Solingen, Germany and sailed from Rotterdam on the ship "Jefferson". They arrived in Baltimore on June 5, 1834. They then came overland to St. Louis where the members broke up looking for farmland further west. Please contact me if you have any information.
