Hello,

My ancestor Adam Frank Laufer came from Wendehausen, Thuringia, Germany. His mother is believed to have a maiden name of Montag.

On the 1860 federal census in Trenton, Washington County, Wisconsin, there is a Jacob Montag living next door to Adam Frank Laufer. I'm surmising this is potentially some relation to Adam, possibly a cousin on his mother's side.

Does anyone have any information of this Jacob Montag or a Montag who may have married a Laufer? I believe the Montags in question were from Wendehausen as well.

Thanks in advance.
