Hi, I did figure that bayen was mis spelled in the 1860 census for my Rosenhauer's, figured I'ed spell it as it was on the census sheet, I'm not great on German pl;ace name spelling. I have tp much info stating my Rosenhauers were from Baveria, I just can't get any farther back then the 1960 census for Dupage county ILL. The only other info I have that might be right is the 1870 census for Muskegon MI. where the census states that my Charles Rosenhauer was from Prussia and his parents were born there to, He was with his 1st wife Elizabeth Ottis, I don't think his 2nd wife Alice Baker knew much about Charles, after the Civil War was over Charles wasn't very Healthy, had problems and was real hard of hearing. Alice had him born MI. NY. Ireland. I did send for Charles's Civil War Pension File and his Brother Williams to. I have a paper from the Grand Rapids when William was there and it has the place where he was living when he joined the Civil War, but he went to Naperville to join up, It list the place as a county but find nothing close to the place wrote down, though maybe it might have been a town or township, is there anyone out there that would let me send the page to them to see if they might figure out the place William lived.
