Karl / Carl Schlarb before 1854
I am assisting the Bamberger family of Kirn-Sulzbach of Germany in their attempt to locate their ancestor Karl/Carl Bamberger, born 10 Feb 1854 and came to the USA in 1873when he was 17. We believe he entered at the port of New York.
His Sponsor and God Father was Karl/ Carl Schlarb. With this in mind. It is reasonable to deduce that this Schlarb was from the same general area of Germany and was somewhat older than his God-son. I have posted this on the Bamberger family site also. If any of this sounds familiar please let me know.
