Sounds like fun. My only brick wall left (other than just doing the leg
work to continue getting records from places I already know about) is:
(Johann) Adam Essenwein (more than likely Essenwein or Esenwein in Germany)
born about 1820 in Wuerttemburg. He came to America sometime before meeting
his wife Abigail Talada in Towana, Pennsylvania, where his son Francis was
born in 1853 and Adam died in 1865. I have looked on the German phone book
site and found that most Esenweins/Essenweins today are in Wuerttemburg,
specifically the Waiblingen area, where I was an exchange student a few
years back. Only about 20 different listings of Essenweins, though, so...
yeah...
