I have been working on the GARZ line and found the grandparents on 
the Italia transcribed by Robert W. Grose.  They were listed on 
German S.S. Italia at NY Por on 29 April 1892.  

The were 164 August Gaarz, 165 Albertina Gaarz, and children 166 Franz Gaarz, 
167 Otto Gaarz,168  Auguste Gaarz, 169 Julius Gaarz.

They settled in Nebraska where two more sons and a daughter were born  
and then homesteaded in Squirrel, Idaho. August and Albertina are both 
buried in the Squirrel cemetery along with their son Franz who never married.
