Dear Gerhard,
thank you for the info regarding Germany. I do not have a Sophia; my John Trabert came to US in 1850, but I have yet to locate the exact record. He settled in PA with other Germans who were all from the same area in Germany, and because there were Traberts in
that same area (north and east of Kassel), I feel my Trabert could be from this area. Would that be considered Prussia?
