I am searching for my great great grandmother. Her maiden name is Elizabeth Dohn. She was born in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. I am pretty sure that it was not born in Pennsylvania. Her mother Catherine Dohn, which I is her married name came over to the US from Germany in 1850. Elizabeth was not born until 1855. So she was over here in the U.S. for a few years. I cannot seem to find Catherine's husband. In the 1900 U.S. Cenusus for Pennsylvania, it shows that Catherine is a widow, and it also shows that she had 4 children, but only two of them are living. I am guessing that her other child that was living at the time was named Maria. I found her on a church record. She was a witness to one of Elizabeth's children's christenings. If anyone knows anything please contact me,I have information on the family going up to myself. If you have any idea where Catherine might have come fromin Germany too that will be helpful also.
