[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Trying to locate-Metzlaff

[Robin D. Dombrowsky]

Margaret,

     Found your people in 1900 in Suffolk County, New York.  Reinhard was
working at a button factory.  By the way, the other Metzlaff family with
them in Ohio in 1880 (possibly Reinhard's father and mother) are living
four pages away in the 1900 census.
Reinhard, Wilhelmina, Charles (Carl), two other children, and one
grandchild are living in Babylon Township, Suffolk County, NY, ED735, sheet
8, 39B.  Henry Metzlaff and his family living next door to widow, Johanna,
are at sheet 12, 43A.

Have fun,

Robin
