I'm looking for information about his parents. He was brought to the USA from Germany in 1830 as an infant, and I have lots of information about him from 1860-1901. However, I can't find anything on him before 1860. He lived in Pennsylvania from 1830 and moved to California in 1850 via wagon train. The family may have had a shipping business on the Erie canal. They supposedly settled in Western Pennsylvania, but I am unsure which town, and haven't found any records of them. George was my great-great grandfather. Anyone have clues? Pre-1850 Clues.
