These are my maternal g-g-grandparents Silke & Grandman immigrated from Pruessen, Germany in approximately 1850 (don't have the exact date, ship, or port of entry). They were married in Germany on 1 Jan 1847. Heinrich (Henry) Silke was b:7/14/1823 in Germany & died 6/15/1903 in Indiana. Marie Luise Fridrike Charlotte Grandmann was b: 1823 in Germany. She died in Indiana on 12/25/1899. I have the names of both Heinrich & Charlotte's parents but not much more than their names. Gottfried F "Charles" Schnell married Catherine Herr in Germany (Duchy of Nassua area) in the 1840-1845 time period. They had 2 children Friederick b:1848 & August b: 1850 in Germany before immigrating the US on 4 Jan 1851 via NYC. In route to Indiana in the early 1850's they had a child Charles L. Schnell born in Philadelphia, PA in March 1852. I do not have any info on either Gottfried or Catherine parents. I would like to have Gottfried & Catherine's marriage date as well. I would love share any info that that would mutually benefit us. Right now I am focusing more on the HERR - SCHNELL families right now, but it is slow going. Please get back to me with any info you could share. Thanks......Bill Beasley Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
