Our records in Germany show the name of some emigrants on your list, thus we have the same information out of different sources. Best Regards Michael Antoni Erlenweg 2 63486 Bruchkoebel, Germany Correspondence August 1, 2007 passengers 14-20 Walter I have researched Walters from Oberkaufungen, Germany to U.S. The Albert left Bremen, Germany with passenger number 14: Justus Walter, wife Elisabeth (#15), daughter Elisabeth (#16), John August (#17), (Mary) Maria (#18), George (#19), and Wilhelm (#20). Ludwig Walter died on the Albert and was likely to have been buried at sea. Their name was changed to Walters on arrival in the U.S. Six years after they arrived my Great-Grandfather was born.
