I am starting to delve into my Mennonite roots, but am very confused. My greatgrandfather was H. Tobias Jantz/Johnson. His son Wilhelm/William was my grandfather. The family history is very sketchy, I know that he had a brother "Jacob" as sister "Helena" and a step brother "Peter" from a second marriage after his arrival to America, by a widow with the last name of Wedel. My grgrandfather was born either on the boat on the way over, or while the boat was "in dock" awaiting entrance to Castle Garden. I would love to hear from you. Thank you
