Hi, I have been trying for several years to get some lead on my German ancestors who emigrated to Liverpool in Great Britain in about 1866. I have many details of them after they arrived but little clue prior to emigration. Unfortunately all family records were lost when the family home was destroyed during the bombing of Liverpool in the Second World War. They were: Carl Ernst ADOLPH, a smith born 1838/1839 somewhere in Prussia, married to Marie Wilhelmina Lucia T"ADTER (or T"ODTER), born 1841/1842 in Hanover (the state I assume) As you probably know, without any indication of the parish they came from it is almost impossible to get any further with research. Have any of you come across these people in your research? best regards, Richard Francis
