My new updated DNA percentages show: 1% Baltics.
The Baltics consist of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and also found in Belarus, Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine. My only known ancestors that would have migrated from this area was my great-great-grandfather, Joann Martin Dohle who was born about 1800 (married Henrina Levermann). He was a koopman (merchant) and died 12 Jul 1842 in Langensalza, Sachsen (Saxony), Deutschland (Germany). In that year this area was a Prussian confederation of Germany and at the "revolt" became "Germany".
His son (Joann Georg Dold) also known as George Martin Dold was my great-grandfather. He was born 28 Apr 1823 in Bocholt, Westfalen, Kingdom of Prussia (now Germany). George was the eldest of eight children. On the ship Floridian, George departed from Antwerp, Belgium and arrived at the port of New York, New York on 4 Nov 1848. On 17 Jan 1860 in Ellenville, Ulster, New York George married Margaret Lay who was born in county Cork, Ireland. They moved to New Jersey and he became the father of four children. In 1864 he enlisted in the 2nd Reg. Co. L of the New Jersey Cavalry during the Civil War and fought for the Union. According to his pension application, he contracted dysentery and had to be carried on a stretcher from the train arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi where he mustered out. Once at home in Beemerville, Sussex County, New Jersey he lay "weak and wasting away" for about four months; although, attended by a physician, he died 15 Oct 1865 at the age of 42 leaving his wife and four little children. I often think how sad it was for him to come to a land "flowing with milk and honey" (as a lot of immigrants thought) to die so young for a country not of his nativity. His oldest child, Mary Ann DOLD Runyan, was five years old at the time – my grandmother.
