Yes, you are correct. My ancestor was Johannes Wildfang who came with his family to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1734. One of his sons, Johannes Sebastian, was born in 1732 in Oberlustadt Parish which is in the Pfalz. I do not know if they had connections to Hamburg. Do you have any information on the Wildfang family in Germany in the 1700 time frame? My wife and I are planning a trip to Germany in July, 2002 to do more research on the Wildfang family. We appreciate your response to the web site. Hal Bern
