My great grandfather, Emil Menger was from Schwarzburg in the Saxe-Coburg duchy of Thuringia, Germany. We do not have an exact date of his arrival in the United States, probably in the early 1850's.Arrvival should have been in New Orleans.He was born March 10, 1821 and lived in Clinton, MS.He was a music professor at Hillman College.His older brother Simon Menger arrived in 1846 in San Antonio. Do you know the name of Johann Friedrich Menger's father? Did he have any brothers?We believe Simon and Emil had a number of brothers, but we do not have any names.
