Hello, I am new to this list. I am researching the ancestry of my g-grandfather Frederick Wilhelm Horstmann (b. 1854-d.1936). He was born in Germany and emigrated to th US about 1872. Frederick settled in Beaver Co, PA, north of Pittsburgh. He had a brother and sister, Henry and Deanie Horstmann, respectively. I originally had the information that Frederick was from Alsace-Lorraine. A look-up in the Alsace Immigration Book indicated he had not emigrated from there. I found a Frederick Wilhelm Horstmann on the Wall of Honor at Ellis Island stating he was from Sudhemmern, Minden, Germany. There was also a Henry Horstmann as well. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to research next to find Frederick's town of origin? Thank you in advance Lisa Birnesser
