Wilhelm LORENZEN, Germany > LA, USA 1850
Hello,
I am in possession of a naturalization record dated 1856 for Wilhelm LORENZEN which states that he emigrated from the Grand Duchy of Holstein in 1850, a minor under 18 years of age, to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
I am looking specifically for a Carl or Charles LORENZEN who married Ellena or Helena HINKEL, also of Germany. They were the parents of Magdalena or Madeline LORENZEN b. 1871 who married Jules B. PESQUIE in New Orleans, LA in 1892.
Madeline Lorenzen Pesquie's death record identifies her father as William Lorenzen of Germany. The names of her parents are taken from her birth record, the informant being her father, Carl Lorenzen.
I think Carl Lorenzen and Wilhelm/William Lorenzen may be the same individual. Does anyone recognize any of these names?
Thanks,
Nancy Pressley
