Klaus,

My Oppelt came from Germany in 1888. I have no idea who he is or where he came from. He came here on the ship SS LAHN and it says his origin of journey is Schweinfurt. I have some guesses who he might be, but no proof. I would love to get some help in locating my ancestors in Germany, but I fear they may be in Poland now after Germany was split up after the Wars. Family stories indicate they were from Rahdan Westfalen. Like I say though I really don't know.

Thanks,
Rick Oppelt
