So far I have found him on several documents including his marriage certificate. He lists his parents names as Lorenz and Barbara, i thought with his name and parents names I would be able to find a birth cert in germany but thus far am having no luck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104533754936344713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441667.post-17718383553681617882017-01-03T08:58:56.546-07:002017-01-03T08:58:56.546-07:00I am looking for more about a Prussian(or possibly...I am looking for more about a Prussian(or possibly Russian) grandfather, Friedrick C. Krann who supposedly immigrated in 1894 to OH. He was born approx. 1864 or 1865, Not found on Ellis Island. Never completed naturalization forms as he was killed in a job accident in 1906. Is on census as Fred Kran. About all I know. Are there any other resources or help to search. maryOAarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164307386602420289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441667.post-29071354256821560382015-08-16T09:12:12.754-06:002015-08-16T09:12:12.754-06:00I have a Great-Grandmother that I believe is of Ge...I have a Great-Grandmother that I believe is of German heritage. Information obtained from her son's birth certificate indicate that she was Elizabeth Behm (unknown maiden name) and her husband was George Behm. She was born 11 July 1868 - Germany? Place of birth listed as Palone. She came to England 1897 as a cook. George was a domestic Valet. Not sure whether George came to England. I'm busy writing an informal book about my parents and would love to have further information about them. Any suggestion on how to go about it? Don't know Elizabeth's religion.

My "Kuhn" ancestors hit PA around 1730 +/- 5 years, and I have yet to find a place in Germany other than one clue on a census saying "Wurtemberg" One day...

Look for nationality as well as ethnicity. Even a German-sounding place name is no guarantee, as places could have many unofficial names. Passenger lists especially can contain extremely creative spelling. Check also for non-family traveling companions.bgwiehlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904956507742860598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441667.post-45852496542364209952009-02-06T22:10:00.000-07:002009-02-06T22:10:00.000-07:00Great Info thsnk you!!!!Great Info thsnk you!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
