I am researching the family of Nicholas LANG and his wife, Sarah KAISER. Their fourth son, Daniel LANG, was born in Grey Township, Huron Co., 28 Dec. 1860. Nicholas and Sarah were married by 1853 and probably moved to Ontario in the 1850s. I am trying
o track their migration from Luxembourg to Huron Co., ONT. They moved from Huron Co. to Perth Co., Ont. by 1864. Was there a community of Luxembourg immigrants in Huron Co., and if so, where? Sarah KAISER was born in PA and Nicholas LANG was born in Lu
embourg.
