I am aware of the Hilgert line in Upper Mt. Bethel, but they emigrated to US long before my ggrandfather, Philip Hilgert. He came in 1855. He was born in 1834 and was married to Elizabeth Lonser(t). I can't discover where in Prussia he came from, nor do I know of any siblings. I also don't know where he lived after emigrating until he shows up on the census of 1870 in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
