Hi:I have a copy of Christoph's petition to the City Court of Louisville asking to be admitted as a citizen of the U.S.It is signed by Phil Tomppert, Jr (the Clerk of City Court) iand is dated 27 March 1868.I don't know if the courthouse would still have these records or whether they would have been transferred to INS, but if Paul is Christoph's brother and they traveled to the U.S. together, a good bet would be that they applied and received citizenship at the same time.If you're in Louisville, it might be worth following up on.
In the meantime, thanks for keeping an out out for our branch.
