I'm trying to find out any information on Jacon Pilger Sr. or possibly Johann Jacob Pilger, born in Germany in 1833 and residing in Muskoka during the 1881 census at the age of 48. He would be my grandfather's great-grandfather. Any information at all would be greatly welcomed!

Do you know anything about Rosanna / Rosina Haus? Can't seem to find anything regarding her birth or parents, however it seems like she crossed from Germany to New York on a immigration ship with a Christian Haus. Cannot seem to find anymore information though after hours of searching.
