Have you tried finding this family at FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records?

Yes I have tried family Search That is where I found his birth records. I need to know when he died. We were told he went back to prussia to fight in the Franco Prussian war,but I don"t see how he could have done that. He had two small children than plus a third one on the way when he died. let me know if you can help thank you

This is another great website...Surname Navigator. Select a country from the drop down list, enter your surname then press search and you will see what I mean. This is the best genealogical search engine that I know of. Have a pen and paper handy.
Plus there are lots of links on Prussia in general. Learn about Prussia from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.
Tip: it's all to easy to go on a wild goose chase on supposed information. Many of us have found out that 'stories' were just that. Be careful to document all your known information.
