Perhaps someone on this list could help. <from Terry My husbands grandmother, Amalia Schreiber, came to the United States from Russia around 1910. She would have been about 16 years old. she came alone and didn't speak any English. She was bound for Portland Oregon.

He was also from Russia and settled in Portland Oregon.> Perhaps somebody on this list could do something. The requester is at toodleooh@netzero.net. Thank You Jerry Berge

Hi Elaine, The information I sent you is all that you need to order a copy of the ship manifests (passenger lists). Since you are asking about two separate ships, you will need to order two forms to fill out. Castle Garden was being used during the time that the two people you are interested in arrived. When you fill out the port of arrival on the form, put "New York, NY (Castle Garden)". That worked for me. Use the link below to go to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) page for ordering forms. You will want to order NATF Form 81. The site is very user-friendly. You just email your request and fill out the form when it arrives (with the info I gave you). What you usually get back is a copy of the first page of the ship manifest and whatever page the person you want is listed on. If you want the "entire" ship manifest, you must state so, but it could get spendy. Charges are by the page. Sandra in Oregon http://www.nara.gov/research/ordering/ordrfrms.html Also... if you would like to see a picture and bio of the ship Schiedam... use the following link and then choose "Magellan - The Ship Navigator". The ships are entered alphabetically. (There is no info on the Herder as yet). http://www.cimorelli.com/safe/shipmenu.htm Best wishes and much luck on your quest. Sandra in Oregon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Gervasi" <eandtgervasi@earthlink.net> To: <kieffer@pioneer-net.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:18 PM Dear Sandra, Some weeks ago you sent me the following information for which I am very grateful. I am helping an elderly gentleman who has been researching Fredrick Hueter and Diana Baker of Nansemond County VA without success for many years. The county records were destroyed and death certificates had no information about their origins. Marriage record AND death certificate do not show any of these answers although his death was reported by his own son!!! I believe that Mr. Hueter came to this country and managed to not offer any information relative to his arrival. I do not know how he arrived here nor WHERE HE LANDED. Census records suggest that he arrived in 1873 and I know that he married Diana Baker in 1886. Do you know where the passenger list records of the Schiedam and Herder can be found? Perhaps they will offer some clue. Passenger's Name: Friedrich Hueter Age: 20 Gender: Male Occupation: None Last Residence: Germany Date of Arrival: Jul 12, 1880 Final Destination: USA Purpose for Travel: Staying in USA but not a citizen Ship's Name: Schiedam Captain's Name: Chevalier Manifest ID Number: 35723 Port of Embarkation: Rotterdam Mode of Travel: Steerage Passenger's Name: Friedrich Hueter Age: 16 Gender: Male Occupation: Merchant Last Residence: Prussia Date of Arival: Aug 28, 1878 Final Destination: USA Purpose for Travel Staying in USA but not a citizen Ship's Name: Herder Captain's Name: Brandt Manifest ID Number: 34900 Port of Embarkation: Hamburg & Havre Mode of Travel: Steerage Thank you.

Hello Charlotte, This is the email address of the individual researching the Theis family name.

I am sending a copy of this email to Helene at this address: carsonmh@volfirst.net I am also sending a copy of the message to the mailing list to make sure she receives the message.

After looking at these list everyday for almost two years that name matched our last name. Please let us know what Theis you are looking for.
