My ancestor, Diedrick/Deidrich/Diederick Upmann, was born in Hanover Oct 1823. I'm not sure of the correct German spelling of his first name.
He immigrated to America in 1841 and arrived in South Carolina. He eventually settled in Wrightsville, York, Pennsylvania. He married Wilhamina Waag in Pennsylvania; they eventually had 8 children from this marriage.
How can I find his German "roots"?
Thank you!
