It appears that we may have a connection on the surname JUNG from Neunkirchen. My Johann Jacob Jung was born in Neunkirchen 25 Jul 1826 and was in the U.S. in 1842, when he m. Sarah Jane Van Benschoten. He was a Methodist minister, first in NY City, then in Illinois, where he lived for most of his life. I have never been able to trace J.J. back to Europe, as I've not seen any Jungs from that area. I would be interested to know if you have further information about your Jung family. This is very exciting, as you've given me hope that there really were Jungs in the area, and that someone else is working on them. Thanks! Maureen ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.

I've figured out that he was a quarter master but I don't know if he was in the Swedish army or a german mercenary. Does anyone know? Also, his son Johann Nickel was Kiefer zu Neunkirchen, ab 1684 Meyer, Kirchencensor und Gerrichtsshoffe. I need a translation. Thanks. > Leon > > ______________________________
