Correspondence 03/27/02 passenger #46-53 Herb
Thank you a thousand times for your translation of this ship list.  The 
individuals numbered 46 through 53 are my relatives.  Here are the details:

Wilhelmina Herb; her parents, Heribert and Cecilia, and her brothers and 
sisters, came from Altdorf, Freiburg, in the Baden region of Germany.  
They settled on a farm five miles south of Sandusky, Ohio.  In 1848 she 
married Ludwig Jacob Schmidt.  Together, they had eight children: 
Ludwig, Heribert, Cecilia, Wilhelmina, John, Anthony, Mary and Theresa.  
Mr. Schmidt died in 1866 and Wilhelmina remarried in 1875.  Her second 
husband, Johan William Rampe, a widower, also had eight children so 
their combined household had 16 children.  The Schmidts are my 
great-great-grandparents. Joyce Sziebert

Correspondence 05/19/2004 passengers #33-44 Straub and Kneisch 
I have futher information on two related families on this list:

33-38, Erasmus STRAUB, widower, and his five unmarried children; and

39-44, Ludwig KNEISCH (a.k.a. Joseph KNAISCH) and his wife, Josepha
(STRAUB) KNEISCH, daughter of Erasmus STRAUB, and their four children.
