I didn't know where to start; all my genealogical experience has been with Philadelphia area references (where my family has lived for generations). My mother (Alma Frisse Remer) was from a branch of the Frisse family that came to Philadelphia after the Austro-Prussian War. We had correspondence from the 1880's that told of a Frisse man who had recently left Germany, and stayed with our branch of the family for a few weeks, before heading for a new life in New York; we never knew what happened to him, or of the other Frisses in New York. I strongly suspect it was Bernhardt/Bernard Frisse, but I need to find the correspondence in our files and do further research. Thanks so much for starting me off - wish me luck!
