I have virtually nothing on the Iowa branch but I do know there are a lot of 'em... I have his spelling as Godfried and Gottfried. I am leaning toward the latter but would appreciate any input. Also, do you have any information on their migration from Germany?? ie, ship, point of embarkation, debarkation and route from there to Wisconsin?? I will be happy to share any information I have..
