I’ll post the image later, but it really did look like “Harp”–but it also looked like “Hays.”  So, we’ll forgive the transcriber & thank Ancestry.com for enabling the ability to find people using absolutely NO last name at all !  We put in only Chr* for the given name & the known Jackson County, Michigan.  Wife was supposed to be Louise, but she apparently also went by Eliza.  Whew!  Prussia given as birthplace.  Patron thought his name was Christian, but she posted a gravestone, which said “Christopher.” So what was he in the 1870 Census? Christopher! Not a big deal, you say. Mal sehen, i.e. we’ll have to see…{:>) Das lässt sich noch zeigen. That remains to be seen.

Yes, indeed, that means twice as much for you!  Sound too good to be true?  He & we’ve been doing this for more than two decades already!

Thanks to my webmaster, Paul Johnson–creator of www.GermanGenealogist.com–which he has had SEO’d since 2008 (& who was wise enough to marry my 1stborn gorgeous, intelligent daughter)–I just counseled with a prospect & turned him into a client! I sold a $2,000 German Genealogy research account. Paul Johnson and 2 others like this..

Jo Janson Wills (a recent client & former patron wrote):  You have the magic touch when it come to research. I keep hearing good things about your services. Keep up the GREAT work.

Most of the case crackage was pro bono.  Are you next for some European research breakthroughs?  These ancestral research cases were from just about every country of Europe in which German or other Euro-ancestors lived! From Alsace-Lorraine (Elsass-Lothringen) to Augsburg to Austria to Australia & back to Austerlitz!

Not a big deal, you say?  Then why could NObody find this in the last decade?  This is just one of numerous German Genealogy cases we cracked this week!

If you do not find the ancestor in a crucial census, your research could be stalled forever.  Thus, our having found George JANSON & Mary & Margaret, daughter, in the 1860 Census of Philadelphia was crucial for our client, Jo Janson Wills, of NJ.

It gave heretofore UNKNOWN data, e.g. his birthplace as Bavaria (Bayern), which is the southern German state that holds such places as München (Munich).

Of course, his name in Germany was NOT Johnson, per se.  The surname had obviously been Americanized by either the census enumerator or a member of the ancestral family!

Our task now will be to ascertain the place of origin within Bayern!   As is usual for us, we await the client’s next retainer.
