Bob, The birth date of Catharine Boyer is needed. ("Germans to America" says she was born abt. 1842. It appears she and the family were on the "Donau" which arrived 12 Nov 1881 in New York. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-16954-37553-12?cc=1849782&wc=M94V-JBD:652310858) The 1900 US census has month and year of birth. Where was the family in 1900? FYI: Messages to the list need an appropriate subject line.
