Louis Hammel Immigrant from Hamburg, Germany
My great-grandfather, Louis Hammell, married a Kansas woman, Emma Spearing, and settled near San Antonio, TX, circa 1850.Mother suspects he had siblings, but no others came over during his lifetime.None of his sons had sons.He may have been an illegal immigrant.Does anybody have any ideas on how to start researching his family?I have info on his daughters and their decendants to present-day. Are there any free online internet resources for Germany? Are records this old available?
