Figy letters from 1849 and 1853
to Jacob and Michael Figy from his family in Burgfelden
From Burgfelden to the Lauber Hill in Fulton County OH


I posted at URL above the transcibed translations of 2 letters written to
the Figy brothers of the Lauber Hill settlement
and a scan of one of the letters in German.

Surnames mentioned besides FIGY are:

LAUBER
ZIMMERMAN
KOENIG (KING)
EYER

They give you a idea of the hard times in Burgfelden area at the time and
what is was like to have a family separated by an ocean.
Interesting reading for anyone if just for the history writing style of the
time.
