Surnames: Iglick Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EY.2ADE/324.2.1 Message Board Post: Diane, In checking Ancestry.com (a subscription database of censuses, etc.) I found some references to Samuel Iglick: 1930 census - Orland, Glenn Co., CA (ED 11-2, SD 5, Sheet 9B, Family #264) age 75, male, age 21 at first marriage, born Germany (parents born Germany) Yr of immig to US 1871, naturalized (this means he completed the process to become a citizen), occ: doctor --- w/wife Sussie B. or Gussie B., age 65, age 42 at first marriage, born Ill (father b. Ill, mother b. OH). On 1910 census also in Orland, Glenn, CA. w/same wife, occ: "Physical"[?], Yr of immig to US 1870, naturalized. I can't find him in the 1920 census. In 1880 census there is a Samuel Iglick, age 26, b. Prussia, w/wife Rosa in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio, occ: barber. In 1900 in Center Twp, Marion Co. Indiana, Rosa Iglick, b. Nov 1857, age at 1st marriage 42, married. years married 22, no children. (Samuel not listed.) Columbus Ohio City Directory (1890-91) lists: "Dr. Samuel Iglick" occupation: "Turkish bath and barber shop" There is a ship passenger list for the Port of New York, arriving 7 Nov 1870 (could be 1879) pass #492: Igluck[?], Samuel, age 16, male, arriving on the Steamer Allemannia from Hamburg, Germany. This could be him. You will want to check the Hamburg Emigration List for the departure. This is a list that the Germans at the Port of Hamburg kept on DEPARTING (emigrating) Germans. It is indexed from the 1850s until the 1930s. He should be easy to find on the list and, since Germans wrote it, the name is likely spelled correctly and may give a birthplace or a place where he was living prior to departure. The list is available on microfilm at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or through one of their local Family History Centers. Major libraries also often have these microfilms. The port has a website but I couldn't find him on it. They charge for a lookup and copy of the register entry (which you can get off a microfilm yourself). The register is in German but it is ! easy to translate and the emigrant's names are usually easy to read. I found my g-g-grandfather on it.
