My great grandfather Jacob Bopp was from the Canton of AARGAU according to his papers he filled out to become a citizen of the United States. He was probably born in 1821, immigrated to St. Louis, MO. thru the port of New Orleans, La. on June 21, 1842. The ship Woodside sailed from the port of LaHavre. France. On the passenger list he is listed as Jacque Bopp age 21 from Switzerland, an occupation was not given. He was a gardner. In St. Louis we called them truck gardners as they grew the fruits and vegetables and then went door to door selling their items. I do not know his parents names or place of birth or exact birth date. I have many records and his exact birth date is never given, just an age. I felt he probably served in the Swiss Army before he left. My grandma (his daughter) when asked by me, probably during the 2nd World War what nationality we were, she said "French, Dutch, Swiss and German". I know her father was Swiss, and her Mother and husband were born in Germany. But the French and Dutch I have never figured out. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
