I do have one question:You say this family immigrated from "Germany or Prussia".Well, just like the U.S., Germany, too, has always been made up of states.Prussia was a German state, just like Maryland, for example, is a U.S. state.So to say that a family immigrated from "Germany or Prussia", is the same as saying that an American family lived, for example, in "Maryland or the United States".
Do you have reason to believe, on the basis of some record you have found, that of all of Germany's states, this family was from the state of Prussia specifically?Or why do you make specific mention of the state of Prussia?
