Hello, I would appreciate any help in locating my grandfather and great-grandfather that came from Germany. I understand they came from Hamburg about Oct 1886 or shortly before. Their names are Hermann (Herman sometimes went by H. E. Stermer) and his son Herman Stermer. They were supposed to have come into the Port of New York. I have also seen the surname as STEMER. Any help greatly appreciated. Carol Pirtle _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
