Timeline

1855	Georg is born, in Althausen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany
c. 1873-1880	Georg immigrated from Germany to the US between c. 1873 and 1880. Georg's father Johannes Volkert is buried in Germany, which indicates that Georg came to the US on his own. It is unlikely he did so before 1873, at which point he was 18. Also, we know that his first child was born in Illinois in 1880, and he married Barbara Margaretha Hummel in Illinois in 1882, so he was clearly in Illinois by that point.
