I am researching three members of the same family but they immigrated at different times. Nikolaus b 1762 immigrated in 1794 leaving behind he wife and daughter. he eventually remarried His two nephews (Philip,and Jacob) and their mother (Magdalena) immigrated in 1803 settling in the same area. At one point Nikolaus and sister Magdalena are suppose to have been in the same household. Of this group of four Philip and Magdalena (after she marries a Peter Zimmerman) are the only ones that show up in the census. Philip eventually moves to Ohio Does anyone have any idea why I can't find Jacob and Nikolaus ( d 1828 ) and/or where I might find information. I suspect Jacob changed his name to Jonathan I am open to any suggestions . There other Dingledine in the area at this time but these seem to have vanished Derek Dingledine
