    1. [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Spelling of the name Beheng
    2. Judy Olson
    3. Hi, I'm helping a friend locate info on the passenger lists for her ggrandfather Peter Nicholas Beheng, who immigrated from Prussia to Belle Plain, Scott Co., Minnesota in about 1867. His wife-to-be Anna Von Pitz b. about 1842 was also on the ship. I'm told the captain wouldn't let them leave the ship until he married them, supposed to protect women on the voyage. However, I'm having trouble finding that Beheng name as it is spelled so very many ways. So is Von Pitz, for that matter. Does anyone know how the original spelling might be? Thanks. Judy
