Jean Benoit Family from Alsace/Baden to Detroit
I am looking for any information pertaining to Jean Benoit (b.1082, France) or his family or ancestors. He immigrated from France in 1852. The port of departure was Le Havre, France and the port of entry was New York City, New York. They arrived in the U.S. aboard the ship Wm Tell on 22 Jun 1852. His wife's name was Emilie and he had children, Emil, Charles, Caroline, John, and Camille. According to the 1860 - 1930 Census, the family lived in Detroit, Michigan at several addresses. Sons John, Charles, and Emil owned and operated a Machinist business in Detroit from around 1870 until son john's death in 1908. I have a great deal of information on my family, but I am looking specifically for clues to help me research further in Alsace, France as well as to identify other lines of cousins in the U.S. both past and present.
