Dear Group, I have found a ship listing of a Agatha ? wife of Johann Dirksen who immigrated in 1885. This seems to fit the family of Johann Dirksen born Oct 4, 1836 and his wife Ida as listed on 1900 census in Stutsman Co, North Dakota. Does any one know if a possible nick name for Agatha would be 'Ida'? I do see where her granddaughter Agnes went by 'Ida'. Also there is a listings of a 'Stella' on 1900 census who I think is a Justina. Has any one heard of this for a derivative name? I realize it may have just been a mistake or a 2nd wife but I wanted to check it out.
