Regina, First you will find that Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach means a town in Saxony somewhere between Weimar and Eisenach. My grandfather's town is Schlossvippach. Many people from that area left from Bremen and arrived in Baltimore. Mine did in 1864. A cousin of mine found the family name in Schlossvippach listed in the LDS files. It was a kind of census. Also the passenger list of his ship found in Germans to America. They are listed by dates, and their Vol. 2 (ISBN 0-8420-2316-X) covers ships from May 24, 1851 - June 5, 1852. (Vol. 3, ISBN-8420-2317-8 covers June 5, 1852 - Sept. 21, 1852. Vol. 4, ISBN-8420-2318-6 Sept. 22, 1852 - May 28, 1853.) Remember they often Anglesized their names, like Karl to Charles. If you run across a Franz or Karl Schubert in your search of the area, I'd like to hear from you. This is as far as I've traced mine. >Hello! > >I have been searching for the ship my ggg grandfather Gotlieb Wittekind, his >wife, 4 sons and 2 daughters came over on.
