Hello, fellow Wolf(e) researchers. I hope someone can help me in my search. I am a lineal descendant of Charles WOLF, who was born in 1839 in Stolpe, Prussia. He came to the U.S. in about 1861 as a merchant sailor, enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served in the Civil War. After his discharge in 1863, he ended up in Holland, Michigan. In Dec. 1863, he enlisted in the Michigan Volunteer Infantry and served with them in the Civil War, too! In 1866, he married in Holland, MI to Sarah Ann BROWN, daughter of John BROWN (b. PA) and Sarah HART (b. NY). John and Ann BROWN are supposed to have moved to the Holland, MI area from around Harrisburg, PA (date unknown). Charles WOLF and Sarah BROWN had 3 sons: Fred John (my grandfather); Charles; and George. Fred WOLF moved to Montana about 1909. Charles and George remained in Michigan, and many of their descendants still live in the Scottville/Ludington area. Because Charles Wolf did not come to America as a passenger, there is no record of him in "Germans to America". I have no information about his family back in Prussia -- his parents' names, whether or not he had siblings, etc. His German given name may have not been Charles - perhaps it was changed from Carl or another name, since "Charles" is not a common given name in Germany. I have information to share regarding his descendants. Any help or suggestions you can provide on how to find his ancestors would be appreciated. Mary Hitt P.O. Box 86 Murrysville, PA 15668
