My Great Grandparents came to Scranton in December 1863.. The actually arrived in America on 31 December. They were German Lutheran and lived in Scranton for about three years before relocating to W-B. Without coming up to Scranton, is there any way of obtaining any information on them. I just have to determine , if possible, the town in Germany they left. I have possible leads that it was Sattelbach or Fahrenbach. I do have records of his brother from these towns and his family coming to America. The family name is FEHLINGER. His name was Franz and his wife was Johanna. They had two daughters, Louisa and Mary.
