Research Interest: Supposedly family came circa 1820/1830 to New York from Munich Germany. Five brothers named Folger. Some stayed in New York City area my grandfather Alexander and some went to Chicago to be in the meatpacking business. My great grandfather's name was Henry, My grandfather Alexander and my father Alexander. Have the name Anton Folger, Munich Germany at Ellis of course, there was no Ellis then 1810/1820 . People disembarked at Castle Garden the foot of the Bowry.It is noted he came with family - but doesn't say who. Any information would be greatly appreciated. If you are a Folger in the Chicago area who's family was in the meat business and go back to the early part of the 1800's, we may be related. My own father, Alexander is now 75, veteran of Normandy and I would like to find some of his relatives. Thank you for your help. Mary Folger Keefer
