I am looking for descendants of a John Gaschel/Geschl/Keschl who came from Burgenland, Neusiedl around the turn of the century. He may have entered the country through Philadelphia, PA and gone straight to Allentown, since that is where the family originated from in the U.S. However, I can find no ship records of his crossing. I also cannot find census records in Allentown with his name on it. He may have gone under the name Johan or John. His surname was later changed to Gaschel, but that may have been due to mistranslation. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Erick
