Hi Ron, I checked given names under Tilman, Tilmann, Talman, Talmann, Talmon and found nothing. I scrolled thru most of the "T" surnames and did no better. The Wuerttemberg Emigration Index CD came up blank on surname queries. There was only one Solomon listed on the entire disk. Sorry.

It was changed after they arrived and I'm not even 'sure' that it's the one under which they sailed. Is it possible to look up 'any couple' with these given names and approximate ages?) Allegedly married in 1878 and immediately emigrated to NY from Suwalki, Russia/Poland that same year, according to family lore and 1900 census and 1884 naturalization papers. I cannot 'confirm' them in the 1880 census but family and 1900 census claim their 1st child was born in NYC in 1879-80. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ron

Thanks for the try, Sandra. I really appreciate the effort.
