Hello All:
I just came upon your entries today and a few of them look like they may connect. As
typing is one of my lesser skills, I will make one message and send it to all.
My GGGrandparents, Georg Josef BOLL and Genofeva ACKERMANN emigrated to the
USA in 1852, landing at New York on 10 July 1852 with the ship Lancashire
from Havre. They took up farming at Russell WI. I believe that they were both born in
Obernburg am Main, he on 19 March 1821 and she on 2 February 1820. I have been
unable to confirm that this was, indeed, their birthplace. They were Catholic. Georg was
a brother of John Anton BOLL. I have several details of Antons family including that he
was born in Oldenburg. I reckon that this is a misprint and should read Obernburg. The
time and place of birth of Barbara BOLL would lead one to believe that she may also
have been a sibling. According to the details I have on Anton, his parents were Andreas
and Maria (nee FISCHER) BOLL. I look forward to any relative information you may
have. I am at
