I could not find Johanna but I believe i may have found Adolph in 1870. I will send the image as an attachment. His name appears on p 7 line 21 of the ship manifest. Does this look like him? I have heard that sometimes only the heads of household were listed and that may explain why her name is not there but looking at the other names on p 7 it appears there was an effort to list all the names. Could it be that he immigrated in 1870 and she came later after he had a job and place to live? There is a Johanna Hammer in 1872 but listed as male, a taylor. I will send that too. I imagine many mistakes were made. One of my ancestors from Bohemia immigrated when she was 7 years old. Her name was Sophia Josepha Mattausch but she was listed as Joseph Mattausch and listed as a male. I know it was her because the age was correct and the rest of the family were listed there with her.

Her name was Johanna Hammer, and my grandfathers name was Adolph or Ottie. She may have come in with her family but I can find no trace of them. I feel they must have come into N.Y.. Can anyone give me even a tip as to where else I might search. At 72 i'm running out of time. > Thanks, > Thom Sutton email [email protected] > German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
