I am looking to find more evidence about my engel family. I believe that all of them except charles who was born in illinois in 1859 (approx), came over from the luxembourg areas in europe. Marie Engel was my great grandmother who married Nickolaus Flammang in 1875 in chicago. Nik owned a saloon on north ave. around 1895-1900. He died in 1906(07) and Mary(marie) lived with 3 of her children in chicago until her death in 1929. My grand father, Frank, was their youngest child.
Lines married into-- Bonin, Solt, Sheldon, Carroll. Frank's wife was very anti-family-- and so I never knew any of my family. I have been to the area that Nickolaus and Marie were from, but need a little more information to be able to find out exactly where to look there. I would appreciate any help from related families. The area in europe that I have been searching is near Metz. I do not know where Nick or Marie entered the country. I do find Nick's saloon license and his declaration for citizenship in chicago's records.
