Hah! Found 'em! I considered that there is not really the name Henry in German, so he is probably Heinrich. Here they are, I can send image to e-mail. Arriving July 6, 1878 New York on the Mosel, departure Bremen, Heinrich Wallmann 47 farmer Bohemia Barbara " 42 wife " Antonia 12 child Emma 2 child Josef 6 mon. child Josef undoubtedly died, but that only explains the missing child who died. The death rate for babies from ship was very high. Several of my families have babies who died almost right away, probably caught something icky on board. I will try to look through and see if there are any people with same surname. Trouble is, could be a married daughter on board, and I wouldn't know. So obits would definitely be in order. Also consider, the pronunciation of German "W" is V, so some American records could show up as Vollman or something like that. Linda
OMG ! How did you find this ???? At first I was looking at that handwritten list and could harldy understand the writing and then BAM I saw the 4 Wallmanns (Wohlmans) that I know. Woo Hoo!!! I had been searching for something like this for years. How did you find it? This is interesting. I never heard mention of a baby that died. I wish I could read this handwriting better. You say the ship name was Mosel? I thought it looked more like North ...something in that handwriting. The port city is Bremen.....does that help at all with finding what city they originated from? What should I do next?
