Dear Wendelin, Christain Mannle - my mystery man, I have searched the Hertzal Nussbach registers for him with no luck. You mentioned in one of the digests his name was in the book in 1853. Below is from the ship manifest of the Adelaide Metcalf from March 28, 1855. Marianne was his wife. I believe that the people below him were also Mannle and may of been the members listed with him on the auswanderer index. I been able to trace Christian in America, but not the others below. In the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. With some of the first names one would of thought this would be easy. Any thoughts of other versions of first names? Or where did they go. Christian and Marianne went to Boston. thank you Karenq 18 Walter Marianne 26 F Farmer Bade United States 19* Marmle Christian 32 M Farmer Bade United States 20 Mela Herz 52 M Farmer Bade United States 21 Mela Hanchen 38 F Farmer Bade United States 22 Mela Hanchen 10 F Farmer Bade United States 23 Mela Salomon 8 M Farmer Bade United States 24 Mela Bertha 8 F Farmer Bade United States 25 Mela Regina 7 F Farmer Bade United States 26 Mela Berthold 6 M Farmer Bade United States 27 Mela Jetta 5 F Farmer Bade United States 28 Mela Ferdinand 6m M Farmer Bade United States > > Hello! > > Reading the history book of Bottenau "Die dreyherrschaftliche Gemeind > Bottenau" I read my surname on page 134.
