I am researching Meyer GOFFSTEIN (born 1866 in Russia) and his wife Lillie (born 1870 in Russia). They had 6 children - Joseph (b1893 in Russia), Isadore (3 Oct 1894, Russia - June 1970, St. Louis, MO), Samuel (b 15 Oct 1897, St. Louis, MO), Mollie (b1901, St. Louis MO), Max Bonnie (27 Jan 1902, St. Louis, MO- 21 Oct 1996, Santa Clara, CA) and Harry (b1904. St. Louis, MO). If anyone shares this line, please contact Judy at judyatbearlake@yahoo.com

I am searching for information regarding Johan Frederik DENHARDT (many other spellings but with same sound), who is believed born in the area of Central Germany about 1776-1786. He had a brother named Guenther born there also. Johan Frederik married Zidsel HANSDATTER in the Vejle, Norup, Denmark area in about 1811. Four children are known to have been born to them: Ane Marie Lovise, Johan Conrad, Johan Henrik August and Hans Christian. Johan Frederik may have had a prior marriage and family in Germany (wife unknown) before he migrated to Denmark. Other spellings of this name seen in my research are DAENHARTH, DEENHARDT, DEHNHART, DEANHART, DENHART. If you can help, please contact Marian at ggmack78@gmail.com
