Spelling of their surname has been an issue in tracking them down. They must have traveled in rough seas, as the "u" flipped upside down and they were recorded as Guthan in New York City when they arrived in 1852. Census takers had trouble with the heavy German accent and they have been recorded as:Gthoner,Goodthour, and Juhan. To make things worse,the family was poor and they saved some money on the grave marker by dropping the "u". (:-) Seriously, THANK YOU! Danke schön!
