Thank you for your inquiry re: Douhan.

My name is Swedish in background and came there from Belgium in the early 1600s when the family to work in the iron and steel industry.

My father arrived in the US in 1909. His half-sisters and his brother came a few years earlier.

My sense is that the Douhan family to which you refer may well have an Irish connection.

It's clear that you have done good work from 1858. The place/ provenance of the records from that date might give you clues for further research.

Good luck!

Rev. John Douhan

I have some good information on C. E. Douhan.

He was active as an American Baptist Pastor in Pennsylvania before heading west.
