Posted on: STRACK Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/s/t/STRACK/queries/14 Surname: Strack ------------------------- I have Peter Strack b. 1796 and d. 1851, married Catherine, lastname unknown. In an Alsace emmigration list, he is listed as a carpenter, place of origin Soufflenheim, destination America. Passport between 1828-1837. Emigrated to US in 1828 with two children, Peter and Melinda (Madaline). I believe he ran a glass factory in Redford, NY. Other children included Philip, b. 1828 in Vermont; Mary, b. 1834 in NY, Joseph, b. 1835 in NY; and Jacob, b. 1839 in NY. Peter and Jacob were both civil war veterans who enlisted at Plattsburgh NY. My mother is a descendent through Jacob's daughter Mary.
