Schnee...Does your George Best have any siblings? My gggrandfather John Best, Sr was from Hessen-Darmstadt, born in 1822. He emigrated to the US in 1846; was married to Anna Maria and had numerous children including my ggrandfather John Best, Jr. I know nothing else about him.The name George,however, is in every generation of Bests since then....wondering if there is a connection between my John Sr and your George.
