I am trying to find the parents of my German ancestor, Frederick Ernst.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are his details (Not all of it, more is Below):
He was born in February of 1824 in the Kingdom of Saxony (Now Saxony, Germany).
He married Clementine Dörfeldt (born in August of 1836) around 1857.
They had Several children in Germany until Immigrating to The US (New Jersey) in 1872.
They had More Children in the US.
Frederick Ernst died around 1901 In Paterson, New Jersey.

I’ve figured out some details of what happened, but I can’t solve still.

Detail 2:

Detail 3:
I paid the New Jersey Archives for 2 death Records, one of Clementine (1915) and Frederick Ernst (1901). I got a reply and they said they had a death record for Clementine, but not Frederick as there wasn’t one who matched Frederick’s Age. They gave a close match though, but it was of a Young Baby who died.
