"John" Schiek b. c.1817, Wuerttenberg
Looking for information on John Schiek who was born about 1817 in Germany.1880 United States Census for Manhatten, New York, shows he was born in Wuerttenberg and his wife Elizabeth was born c. 1831 in Bavaria.
They emigrated to Manhatten, New York, USA before 1858 as their son Gustus was born in Manhatten in 1858.
Anything on John Schiek's ancestors would be a great help.
The name JOHN would probably be the American translation of a similar German name of course.Kind regards
