Does anyone have connections to my family? My great-grandfather was Philipp Weinand, born November 6, 1833, someplace in Germany. The oral tradition says Koblenz; an obituary says "Kohem" (Cochem?). He emigrated in 1857 and lived in Indiana (enlisted in the Union Army there in 1862). His marriage record lists his parents names as Kasper and Kathrina.

I suspect Philipp had some relatives in Indiana, but don't know of any connections. I don't know of any brothers, sisters or anything about his German roots other than the first names of his parents.
