[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4480472, member: 2844"]I see it goes back to a Mathias von Pein, so she could trace the family origin back from him. The more usual German spelling is Matthias, double t, if that helps. According to the info Mathias was from Elmshorn, which is in the Pinneberg area. Both towns are in Schleswig-Holstein, a part of Germany that borders on Denmark, and was Danish on and off. I also see the name Emden, which is a town in East-Friesland on the Dutch border. The German-Dutch and German-Danish borders are actually quite close together. Emden has a seaport, so they could have sailed from Emden to the US. There is a Pinneberg museum where they may know more: [URL]https://pinnebergmuseum.de/pinneberg-historisch/#menuclose[/URL] They are on Facebook, you can click on the link but I think it is all in German. They also have email: [EMAIL]info@pinnebergmuseum.de[/EMAIL][/QUOTE]
