Still looking for information on Caspar Steininger who married Emily Zengel sometime before 1870. They are on the 1870 census and had three children after that. Caspar was born in Bayern and died in NYC around 1874.

Thank you Michael B. for the tips on my German relations! I appreciate your time and effort. We just lost a member of our tree; my father-in-law (another WWII vet passed on last week), so I have not had the opportunity to act on any of the information.I will let you know how I make out.

Thanks I have, but to be honest not recently, so I will run it again.

Another thought, which you've probably already had. We were in Germany a couple of years ago and I noticed that the Germans pronounce their V's somewhat like we pronounce F. Considering that the early censuses were oral reports to a census taker, have you looked for Fogels or Fogles? On ancestry.com, I found a civil war pension record for a "Clemens Fogel, alias Clemens Vogel." There are also tax records on ancestry for a Clemens Fogel in Missouri in the 1860s.

Thanks for your insights. My family came from Rust, Baden. They arrived in Oct 1833 in the Port of New York. George and Franzica Vogel came with their children, Agatha age 14, (K)Clemence age 13, (K)Crescence 2months and Gabriel age 12 ( although we believed Gabriel is poorly transcribed). Anyway, they have an older daughter Agnes who also arrives different ship with husband Anton Bauman, they settle in New York have first two children there. In early 1840's I can put Agnes and Gabriel in Waterloo, Ontario for their remaining life. A very heavily German settlement, from which my father is eventually born. Past the initial ship document showing the remaining members of the family I cannot place them at all. I realize George may miss the census but Francisza was considerably younger, and I find it funny that the youngest children show up no where. Although I have a couple of records for an Agatha Vogel, I cannot place if she belongs to this family, records are for Minnesota not New York.
You are right, George was a farmer, the chances of him being able to afford to return are slim but I find it funny that 4-5 family members cannot be accounted for. I am actually a descendant of Gabriel but I am determined to find out what happened to his father Johann George Vogel.
