Hi Jeff; If you are close enough to a library that has Filby's Germans to America, you could start there. You know the year is 1854, this series is divided into volumes according to date they arrived in America. There is an index to each volume; it will usually tell you the name of the ship and its date of arrival and lists who came with your ancestor. Perhaps someone on the list has the URL where the series is listed according to Volume. Regards, Phyllis in Wisconsin
