I located a great great uncle, Joseph SCHENK, from Rosenberg in the auswanderer-bw database. In the comment section the following appears: Anstelle eines Betrages steht beim Vermögen: "von seinen Eltern mit den nötigen Reisemitteln versehen". Would someone be so kind as to provide a translation of this and explain what it means. It appears to me that he had no money, but his parents way paying his expenses. Fred Kopfler
