So you won't be able to proceed until you do additional research and determine which of these 15 towns your great-grandfather was from. What kind of record or document did you get Ollendorf/Oldendorf/Ohlendorf from to begin with? Where exactly did great-grandfather live after coming to America? You say somewhere in the New York City area. Do you know what town specifically? Robert
