Hi, everyone, We are planning to visit Germany this year and I am still trying to get some information on my g-grandfather, Jacob BERESHEIM. He filed a Declaration of Intention on 18 May 1853 in the Court of Common Pleas in New York City. On that document he stated he was a subject of the King of Wurtemberg. When a certified copy was sent to the NY Superior Court for his naturalization on 4 Sept 1856, the Declaration said King of Bavaria. The 1860 census said he was from Bavaria. The family believes that he came from Blieskastel which is in the Saar. 1. Was any part of Wurtemberg west of the Rhine in the early 1850s? 2. Is there an index to emigration that covers this time period and area? Would someone look up the name, please? I have search all the immigration indexes here. 3. Did an immigrant have to fill out any other papers when he filed the Declaration or was naturalized? The LDS films did not have any other information on his age, where he was from or when he immigrated. I will be very grateful for any help. Betty Eichhorn in Florida.
