Looking for descendants of the following family. Would like to make contact with long-lost relatives but continued contact not necessary unless you wish; mostly would like to fill in the blanks and correct any errors. (Need DOB's, names of spouses, date/place of death, names of kids, etc).

Philip immigrated c1842 via NY. Possible he had a brother, John, who also immigrated; no clues on whereabouts of the brother. Philip was trained as shoemaker in Switzerland. He was the son of John [& unknown mother]; John [the father] was a wagonmaker & remained in his native Switzerland. Philip and Louisa were Catholic.

It's possible surname was LEU.

Elmer LEW [b 1878] and Lillian J. (CALDWELL) LEW [b 1880] were my great-grandparents. Can account for many relatives in my line through present; willing to share.

Thanks
Linda
