I am trying to find information on my Fries ancestors from Bavaria Germany. I'm not sure when they came to the USA or through which US port they entered. The only information I have follows:George Michael Friese 1/26/1823 - 4/27/1896 (Bavaria Germany) +WIFE - Not known +CHILD - Freida (Bavaria Germany) *Freida married a Mr. Stein from Germany Adam P Friese 12/28/1828-1875 (Bavaria Germany) +WIFE Theresa (Bavaria Germany) +CHILDREN - (State of Georgia, USA) George Annon Friese Dollie Friese John Adam Fries(e was dropped from spelling) Anna Catherine Friese 11/25/1829 - 6/10/1907 (Salzbach, Bavaria Germany) +HUSBAND - Mr. Getzinger (Germany) Adam P Friese came to the USA on a ship with the Pheiffers and Getzingers. It is told that he slipped into the USA on a ship concealed in a flour barrel. His wife Theresa died in Germany and her body was shipped to the USA for burial. Her body is buried along side Adam in a family grave yard in Bay Branch, Georgia. Any information regarding this family will be very much appreicated. Hopefully there will be a connection to your John Fries. I would love to know where my ancestors initially settled in the USA and any thing I can find out about them. Thank you. Good luck with your search. Jessie Taylor
