What a wonderful surprise to read the information on my great-grandfather. I did not have the names of his parents or the date of his marriage. Information shows a passport was issued to him and his wife on June 21, 1864. They came with one son 6 months of age. The rest of his family was born in Milan, Indiana and later they moved near Bonduel, WI. I would appreciate more of the information you might have. I do not have any other information on Johann Albert Gipp other than his birthdate, place, date of death, etc.
