Edward Roth, last of Cape Girardeau, MO
Edward Roth immigrated in October 1863, arriving at New York from Hamburg at the age of 15 and claiming to have come from Kurhessen (Hessen-Kassel or Hessen-Darmstadt). He was born in 1848. I am attempting to learn about his parentage and am wondering whether the Roth family name can be tied to more specific areas of this part of Germany.
