hello all,
I'm looking for the hometown of my ancestors.
the father was Georg Meyer who married Margarethe Johnson. Their children are Johann Laurentz Meyer, Mike (Michel) Meyer, Catharine Meyer, Barbara Meyer and another younger sister we don't know the name of. Johann Laurentz Meyer was born 10 October 1837 and emigrated to the US in 1853 via New Orleans. He never gave the name of his birthplace as he was afraid they would send him back for some reason. The only thing we know is it is in Upper Franconia, Bavaria. I know that's not much to go on but I'm hoping someone will know more. If you need more information I'll try and make it available. Thanks in advance!!
