Indicates names that are missing or illegible Fried^/Friedrich; Christ^/Christian; Aug^/August; Ferd^/Ferdinand; Cathar^/Catharine; Nicol^/Nicolas The total passengers listed for this voyage was 384; apparently the count did not include the baby that died 66 Occupation could be locksmith 72 Occupation appears to be 'geomethe' 229 Baby born on passage not named; sex not listed; assuming baby was born to family listed previously 232 Last name has a large 'X' in the middle of the name; letter under this 'X' is illegible 239 Last name could be Gress or Gresse 286 First name could be an abbreviated Ferdinand 307, 308, 309, 310 Last name appears to be Grgr 313 Baby born and died on passage; not named; assuming baby was born to family listed previously 339 thru 344 Last name could be Klurmann or Klarmann 354 Listed as female, although Johannes spelling would indicate male 368 Not sure if last name is Heibel or Levi
In the transcription you list passengers 307,308,309,310 with the possible surname of GRG?.
The correct surname is GREB, "Germans to America" transcription also has it wrong, and is listed
there as Gress. Sometimes the b in German can look like the double SS. At any rate, these are
my great-great-grandparents. I have confirmation from the archives in Darmstadt Germany along with
copies of those records.
Valentin, his wife Heinretta nee Moogk, and their two children settled first in
Cincinnati Ohio, and later moved on to Falmouth, Pendleton County KY.
Thanks for all of the hard work making these transcriptions possible.
