Hi there, I am also a blacksmith descendant who was from the Baden area of Germany. I am trying to track my ancestors who emigrated in 1854, but I don't know from what port. Anytime I see the year 1854, I want to know if you found a miracle list of emigration records, anything regarding a port from where they left, etc. The 2 brothers indicated in a family bible that they settled in Buffalo from 1854 to 1856, but again even with the 1855 New York state census, their names don't show up so I am grabbing at straws. I will find them in New York, but so far, nothing as yet. One of the brothers blacksmithed in Iowa in the late 1850's and this occupation was carried on down through his son and grandson until 1910 or so. My ancestors blacksmithed and made shoes for the horses on the hose trucks a long time ago.
