Help please with my Baltimore Mystery. I have copied the answers I received from Enoch Pratt as to my request for information on either Edward or Frederick Kosack/Cosack. Edward was married there in April 1860 at St. Paul's Church. I know they lived in Baltimore in 1864 as they were listed in the city directory as being on 171 Vine, there was also a Fredk & Mrs Kosack on 384 Penna. Av. I have been searching in vain for port of entry for this family who were from Prussia. I can't find them in any of the Germans to America books and I have even checked other spellings.According to various census records that I have they were here in 1859. Other siblings are Bertha, Augusta (she did not come here until 1875), Otto and Leo. Edward, Frederick, & Otto all fought in the Civil War for the Union and enlisted in Carroll Co. I have no trouble tracking later years it is finding where they actually came from and what port they arrived in. ANY help at all would be appreciated and I'm sorry this is so long winded. ANS:In reponse to your question, the 1860 Census in Baltimore was taken on July 9, 1860. Cheryl Miller wrote: Thank you for your response to my request.

There was a Frederick Kosack also living inWashington DC in 1870 and two Frederick Cosacksliving in Bladensburg in Prince George's County in1880. Unfortunately, I found no one with those surnames at all in 1860.I hope that this information is of some use.

They probably came in thru the port at Annapolis. Many German's came thru this port, yet so little was ever documented. There are some excellent books on German's to MD; in fact, one is called just that! You mention that you've searched thru all the German books, which ones have you combed thru? I grew up in Baltimore, and my step-father is 100% German. I'm doing his genealogy, which is where I learned of some great resources for you to get on your own... All of the books that I used are still available for sale, so you my friend are in luck!!! You may want to email me offline, as others may not be so interested in our conversation! (I'm such a bore!!!)
