I am researching the ancestry of my great-great-great grandfather Franz Anton Mathis born in Hohenems 9 April 1819 and great-great-great grandmother Maria Anna Amann born in 1822. They emigrated from Dornbirn to upstate NY (West Leyden), USA in May 1871 with 8 of their 9 children, according to the Hamburg Passenger Lists and Pichlers' book on Auswanderer. I have already made contact with the Vorarlberger Landesarchiv, who have been very helpful and would like to know how I can get information from the city of Dornbirn's family book (email address?). Anyone with information on the Franz Anton Mathis family or with his decendants still living in Voralberg, Dornbirn, or in Austria, please contact me. Bob Mathis
