I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has information on Augustus Ehlefeldt (Ehlefedt). He was born in Thomburg?, Germany on 6/15/1818 and came to US in the 1850's. According to his naturalization papers he was a citizen of Prussia. He married Mary Elizabeth Bielfedt in 1852. He was a shoe maker and unbrella maker in Schenectady, NY and died there in 1887. I was told his family had a unbrella factory in Germany.
I would be glad to share any information on him.
