I've hit a wall researching my family. My great, great grandmother Elizabeth Ewald emigrated from somewhere in Germany to the US with her husband Michael Jeske and approx. 1 year old son Frederick about 1892. They settled in Connecticut and the last name was changed from Jeske to Yeski. I can't find where in Germany they were from, so I'm stuck trying to search back any farther.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
