At
www.distantcousin.com they have the 1869
Buffalo City Directory and there are 25 ERNSTs'
listed. One of them is a
Ernst, Philip, lab. h. 415 Seventh.
This could be your Julian Philip
ERNST.
Finding him in census (1860) could give your his house
number & or job. Compairing the two could let you know if this Directory listing is him.
Think this is laborer. I don't know what
the h. is with many of the names, could be "house".
I did not go to the first pages of this book to find a guide.
I have the page saved & will post it with this-
Hope this is your man & adds to your info.
Mine born 1807 Dirkenschied & Lindenschied,
Prussia& living in
Buffalo by 1865. Have no idea if there would
be any connection between our lines. I have barely
touched this branch yet.
