Beth,

>From my own research, my g- grandfather Carl became Charles in legal
papers after immigration. What was interesting the family seemed to
continue to call him Carl and he was referred to as Carl in church
records (German Lutheran). So it is quite possible you have found the
correct person, if the birthdates match. Just as an aside, in the
case of another relative who was named Christian, he also became a
Charles in later years
