I haven't seen any activity on this list, so I'm not certain I am
properly subscribed, but I'll give it a go.
I am researching a line of Caspers that immigrated to Chicago from
Oldham, England in 1867.
Christian CASPER (1825-1898) was born in Germany, son of Valentine
CASPER. Married 1853 to Margaret WALLWORK, daughter of Charles WALLWORK,
in Oldham, England where he was a machinist in the cotton mills.
Immigrated in 1867 to Chicago where he was a machinist on a railroad.
Children were Fredrick, Hannah (m. Casper MEYERS), Christian, Charles,
Andrew, Elizabeth, Philip, Henrietta (m John HUMMEL).
If anyone recognizes any part of this line or is researching Caspers in
Chicago, please reply. Or reply just to let me know I'm on the list and
not the only one on the list!
