Thank all of you that gave me a location for Eckelsheim. I descend from Johannes John Mann 1730-1815, that arrived in Philadelphia, Pa. 26 Sept 1753 aboard the BROTHERS out of Cowes. He was a grandson of Martin Mann and Anna Kopaske, thru their son Heinrch 1688-1753. My GG grandfather, Joseph Mann left PA and settled in Rush, NY about 1840 (Rush is about 20 miles south of Rochester). His daughter Lucinda married my great grandfather Levi Simmons. Their son Joseph married Clara Frisch, and my mother was Verna Simmons, their daughter. To my knowledge this family was NOT Catholic.
