I am researching Lewis (Ludwig) Maurer, b. c. 1810. From census reports I surmise that he came here from Bavaria or Germany before 1842, then had children, including a son, Lewis, Jr, b.c. 1844. Has anyone tracked him back to Europe and found exactly what town he came from? Steve Knowlton sknowlton2@verizon.net P.S. My wife was born a Maurer.

I have lots of Maurer but none before 1860
