Hello GREFRATH is my surname. My ancestors came from Holtzheim, Neuss, Germany and settled in Missouri in 1842. They came via New Orleans, Mississippi River & St Louis. There was another line of GREFRATH in Niagara County around North Tonawanda I believe. I've gone back to the late 1700's with my line but have not made a connection to the GREFRATH line in New York. Has anyone on this list run across this very rare surname? Thanks very much, Edmund F Grefrath
