Transcriber's notes:
* I have not recorded which compartment because it was not listed on the manifest
  I typed from. 
* This list was very neatly written except that it was very dark in
  some areas making it impossible to distinguish what was being written. 
* Therefore ? denotes an area or letter of the word that was not readable on the
  original copy of the manifest.


Correspondence January 17, 2008 - Passengers 33-34 HEPP
SS Braunschweig  October 29 1880  Bremen to NY. 
Passengers # 33 is ERNST HEPP  Age 17 and # 34 is sister PAULINE HEPP  Age 20, 
both from Mullheim Province, Hugelheim (Hugelsheim), Baden Stadt Germany 
(Alsace region border France, Switzerland) 

I have a copy of the original microfiche manifest from Ancestry.com. 
Pauline is my great grandmother and Ernst, my grand uncle.  I would love 
to find out more about why they would have left Germany then, what their 
address was in Hugelheim and who sponsored their voyage to NYC.  Hepp in 
German is from a vineyard name for the cutter tool. 

Pauline Hepp married George Peters. They settled in Newark & Hillside 
New Jersey. They had two children Pauline Peters and Christian Peters, 
born Newark NJ. I have those details of birth and death. 

Ernest married in the US no children. 

Thank you. I just found your website. 

Jeannine Anderson
