Thanks for the Post Sue. My Lion root (now Leon for some reason) settled in Pittsburgh, PA. Do you have any relatives of your GG Grandfather? My GGG Grandfather Pfilipp is the one that supposedly was born in Alsace Lorraine around 1800. The only child I know of was my GG grandfather Anton who came to Pittsburgh from Essen, Germany. One of Anton's sons was my great grandfather Christian also listed as coming from Essen.
Thanks, Walt Leon (Lion)
