Bill, I searched through the immigration records on ancestry.com but couldn't come up with anything on your Fehlingers. Since you know the exact date of arrival of their ship you may want to try a site such as _http://www.immigrantships.net_ (http://www.immigrantships.net) to see if you can come up with anything there. You may already have this info but I did find what I think is your family in the 1870 Census for the 1st Ward of Wilkes Barre, PA: FAILINGER, Frank age 40 Head Laborer Born: Baden Value of Real Estate: $900 Johanna age 38 Wife Keeping House Born: Baden Mary age 7 daughter Born: Baden William age 6 son Born: Pennsylvania Franklin age 2 son Born: Pennsylvania Happy searching! Kim ********************************************************** My Great Grandparents came to Scranton in December 1863. They 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.
