Hi Bill,

According to my research, William's death notice mentioned two brothers, Andrew and Charles. I have checked records in Germany and have found

Carl (or Charles) bap. 14, Jan 1844 in Heuchelheim, Bergzabern, Pflaz, Bayern
Andrew, bap 3 Nov 1839, Heuchelheim Bergzabern, Pfalz, Bayern.
William (Wilhelm), bap 15 Aug 1836, Goecklingen, Pfalz, Bayern

All children of Karl Silbernagel and Margaretha Koehler

I don't think Carl came to NO because I found a marriage record (m. 12 Jul 1868) for him to Margaretha Dillman (b.1 Sept 1845) at the First Presbyterian Church in New York. I don't have a death record for Carl.

I am almost positive that the Andrew married to Fredericka Salzer is his brother because the age is the same as the brother, Andrew.

I cannot answer if the Andre who immigrated through New York is our Andrew. I don't have their immigration records.

You are not being a pest. I am happy to share what information I have. If I can be of further help, please let me know.

Love to you and your girls!

Dianne
