I have been researching my Great-Grandfather, Wilhelm Giesbrecht (Gisbrecht, Giesebrecht, Geisbrecht). I have his manifest port of entry from Hamburg to New York on ship "Scandia" in 1890. Place or origin Teodorowo. Second manifest port of entry from Hamburg to New York on ship "Rugia". Place of origin Czarne. He was Lutheran. I am interested in Lutheran churches in Lipno County. He married Marianna Goertz in I think 1888. He had a son, Gustav in 1892. She and son, Gustav emigrated in 1896. I cannot find their manifest or immigration at Ellis Island. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to track them down. I have been at this since 2005. Thanks to all members in advance.
