Surnames: Itzel (or Eitsal)
Looking for when Peter Eitsal (or any variation of that name{later became Itzel}) came to USA from Germany. Was born about 1837 in Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany. First record I find is the 1860 Census (if that's my ancestor) married to Doretta "within the year" living in Orange, Essex County, NJ. His name was Itzel in his Civil War enlistment records in 1861. How can I make the connection from his residence in NJ back to when he came from Germany? Thanks for ANY help!
