If he was naturalized citizen then his naturalization petition will have information. Possible that Filomina's maiden name will be on his petition. Have you located their state marriage application or church marriage record?

I just started working on this line for my step-mom in the past week. I still have alot of unexplored territory to cover. Thank you for your help and the links that you add in. May there be more people like you helping us amatuers.

Josef/Filomina,
Our family in England are the only WOSAHLO's in the country. I have copies of documents that show that my ancestor came over to London in the 1800's from Germany.
I have been told that the surname was originally VOSAHLO.
Please please get in touch.
My branch of the family live in Cambridgeshire.
I work for the University of Cambridge.

Do you have a place of birth for your WOSAHLO/VOSAHLO ancestor?
WOSAHLO vs VOSAHLO = same pronounciation.

His name was Johann Wosahlo Born Eintracht 1812.

These details are from my memory I will check and get back to you next week. These details were from a census return in 1851.

Thanks for the reply.

Keep in touch.

I did have a brief exchange of Email with Marcus Wosahlo a while back.
