And one more! I think I may have set a record, finding the passage from Germany to America of five of my 16 gg-grandparents in one day. At least a personal best. These folks crossed the Atlantic on the ship Irene that departed Le Havre, France and arrived New York on 29 December 1854. Onbard were my gg-grandmother, Bertha Weitzenecker (bc1830), her siblings Wilhelm (bc1813), Friedrich (bc1815), Anthon(y) (bc1820), Leander (bc1824), Philippina (bc1828), and possibly a niece, Pauline (bc1846). Bertha's gravestone lists her DOB as 26 June 1831. According to family legend, those folks and several more siblings were the children of Count Henry (or Simon) Von Weitzenecker. Count Henry had a castle near Vienna, Austria. At some point, the Von Weitzenecker's were forced to flee Austria and settled in Ravensburg in Wurttemberg. Can anyone provide any info about this family's ancestry/history or point me to a source that might lead to more info? Thank you, Charles A Mayer Ormond by the Sea, Florida USA
