I am researching the Loi surname that came from Bavaria. My ancestors are Lorenz Loi ( born about 1804 in Bavaria) and his wife Walburga Hausel (born about 1809 in Bavaria). They had 5 children in Bavaria:
Anna Marie Loi (born 8 September 1840), John Loi (born about 1842),
Barburga Loi (born about 1847), Francisca Loi (born about 1849, married
Johann Georg Schwarzott in Buffalo, New York), and Crescentia Loi (born about 1852). All immigrated to Buffalo, New York on 11 August 1854 aboard the ship BK Elizabeth. They can be found on the 1855 New York State Census.
