Sharon (or anyone else that can help),

I've heard that you have done some research on the Gucks (Dan from the earlier post is my father). I'd be extremely interested in the information you have found if you are interested in sharing. I'm in the process of searching high and low for any information leading back to Germany. I've been able to track everything down leading back to the ship over which was all easy to find. From there everything is a dead end other than that Valentin Guck Sr. and family came from Oberbayern. If I can find out what town they came from I have the ability to contact churches in Germany to hunt down family lineage (churches in Germany kept excellent records). Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Vielen Dank!

Oops, should have read through all the postings before I posted...it answered one of my questions. Hmmm? Oberhausen huh? Oberhausen is indeed not far from Frankfurt; however, there is another in Germany. The other Oberhausen ist in the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district in Bavaria about 10km from Neuburg. If I would have to guess I would guess that is it. Another question...I've got Valentin Guck Sr. and Dorthea landing in New York on 2. Aug. 1866 instead of 1863?...just a confirmation to make sure its the same person :)

Anyway, anyone with info please get in touch with me. I'm going to Germany to study in July and would love to confirm this, visit, and see how far I can dig to the geneology.
