I found my Johan Jorgen Pries in 1845 Noer. His third name was Friedrich & I've seen him called Fritz in other records. He was born 1834, his sister Elise is 2 years older & his mother Friedericka Hamann was born 1800 at Borghorst. In 1845 she is a widow. Is there any way to find her husband ( Fritz's father)? I remember my family saying Johan Jorgen (Fritz) was a grounds keeper for a royal estate. Thank you again for your help.
