Have posted on other boards but trying here. Looking for information on Nicolaus Elias ca.1830s and came from "Prussia" - unknown town. Died in Detroit, Michigan in the 1920s. Lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Keweenaw) 1860s, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin - 1860s - mid 1870s, back to the Keweenaw, then to Detroit after 1912. I have no information as to what town he was from or his exact date of birth. His trade was that of a "tailor" and he practiced in Detroit 1850s. Also looking for a Balthasar Elias who lived in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin from 1860s (?) until his death in 1878. Nick and Balty might be related, but unknown as to how. I cannot find any information on either gentleman prior to America. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
