Dear Mavis,
I got the marriage certificate today for George Joseph Jarchow to Caroline Brinker back in 1880. George said that his father's name was Fred. So now I am searching for a Fred/Frederick Jarchow. The family supposedly immigrated abt. 1868-69, maybe 1866 depending on the source, from Germany. George Joseph Jarchow said he was born in Ravensberg, Germany which I have found to be in the Mecklenberg area of Germany, which makes sense for the Jarchow name. I also found a Ravensburg which is on the south border near Bavaria, but I am leaning toward the Mecklenberg area instead. I would like to find this family in 1870, but am struggling to find them. I believe I have found them from 1880 onward though.
Any help appreciated, if anyone knows anything about this line,
Wendy
