I am researching the family of Henry Peter Gilsdorf b. 1824(spelled Gilster in the census) and his wife Katherine Leichner Gilsdorf b.1830/31(both born in Prussia/Germany). In 1860 they were listed in the census as residing in Eagle Harbor Township in Houghton county, MI. At that time there were in their household:
Caroline -- born in Germany (not sure she was their daughter),
Adam -- born in Michigan,
Peter -- born in Michigan (Marquette, according to family history).
Charles -- born in Michigan.
Henry was a copper miner at the time. Sometime after 1860 and before 1870, they left Michigan and moved to Ohio. They are in the 1870 census living in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Any information would be much appreciated ... church records (births, baptisms, etc), tax records, ANYTHING!!
