HI, CARLENE! I AM ALSO TRYING TO FIND INFO ON MY ANCESTOR, ELISABETH ALLENDORF, FROM DARMSTADT; PARENTS WERE JOHANNES AND CHRISTINA ENGEL ALLENDORF. ELISABETH MARRIED ANDREAS SEESLE(BORN IN BAVARIA) IN WEST HOBOKEN, HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY USA IN 1879. ANDREAS' PARENTS' NAMES WERE DAVID AND MARGARETHA BUSCH SEESLE AND ELIS. AND ANDREAS NAMED THEIR SON DAVID, ALSO. ON THE 1880 N.J. CENSUS, ANDREAS WAS 32 (BORN IN 1848) ELISABETH WAS 35 (BORN IN 1845) AND THEIR SON, DAVID, WAS 2 MO. OLD. I WONDER IF ELISABETH HAS ANY SIBLINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE MOVED ONTO OHIO. DOES ANY OF THESE NAMES SOUND FAMILIAR? LYNN jhla@nctc.com
