Isn't it great that there is no hesitation among genealogist to help in any way. A National survey would probably prove that as a group they lead in memory retention to fill in the blanks. Hooray Phil With that in mind - can I find emigration ports from Bremen (1854 1856) that wrote passenger list in addition to the ship list and what were the ports used (1854-1856) with links to view the archives.

Hi Carole, Do not get hung up on the spelling of names especially when you get father back into Germany. Many of our ancestors could not read or write. Their name was spelled the way the "scribe" heard it. Sometimes there are wild fluctuations in the way the names a spelled. Bobbi ----- Original Message ----- > I was searching for several years for information on my grandfather, Louis > Charles Weisbrodt with out any luck at all. He was an only child. I complained to my father and he said "Didn't I tell you that Grandpa added a t' to his name?"

Hello Wolf and the "German Passenger - Lists" members. Thanks for your invitation to the list. Here is a short story to introduce myself. My name is Carole Lannom and I live near Cincinnati, OH and was born in Cincinnati, OH. My maiden name was Weisbrodt. I come from a very long line of German immigrants. Why did I start researching my family? Twenty years ago I was in a life-changing automobile accident that left me partially paralyzed on my left side. I had worked in a law firm and could not work anymore, needed something to do so took up genealogy. Some of my German surnames and places they came from in Germany: Weisbrod (t), Reilingen, Germany Freudenberger, Bad Rapenau, Germany Henke, Neidermehnen, Westphalia, Germany and Capelin, Germany (Prussia) Scheppmann, Toemmern (near) Bramsche, Hanover, Germany Sruebbe, somewhere in Germany Kassen, Linne,Amt Wittlage, Hannover Schwer, Harpenfeld, Amt Wittlage Hannover, Germany Schmitt, Hockenheim, Germany Klare, Hanover, Germany My Germany ancestors owned and operated various businesses in Cincinnati, OH. They owned a cigar business (Weisbrodt), baker/confection business (Kassen) and a tailor business (Henke). I was searching for several years for information on my grandfather, Louis Charles Weisbrodt with out any luck at all. He was an only child. I complained to my father and he said "Didn't I tell you that Grandpa added a t' to his name?" That opened up a ton of family information, rich history, culture, pictures, and contact with relatives still living in Germany. I am doing my family research to preserve the information/documentation concerning my ancestors for my future generations and hope to put it all down in book form -- some day. I am glad to be a part of this group and if anyone recognizes any of the above names, please contact me. Thank you, Carole Weisbrodt-Lannom

Hello Wolf and the "German Passenger - Lists" members. Thanks for your invitation to the list. Here is a short story to introduce myself. My name is Earl John Specht, and at present I live in Zwaag, in the Netherlands. I was born on the Mojave Desert in southern California in 1941 and have lived my life in California, Texas, Georgia, Washington DC, Frankfurt, Vietnam, Naha Okinawa, and now in The Netherlands since 1971. My Uncle Bob and I have been researching our 'Specht' family history for quite some time now. We have gathered much data over the years, but have been baffled many times at the faults and incorrect data preserved by our forefathers, and secondly all of our San Francisco history was gravely lost in the 1906 earthquake, or rather the fire that occurred after the earthquake which totally destroyed the historical records of the city. A little about what we do know about our history. My GF Henry was born in San Francisco in 1878, and he and his father Johann (John Henry) moved to the Mojave Desert in 1894 (Lancaster, California). This is where my father (John L.) was born and died, and where I grew up. John Henry (GGF) grew up in San Francisco, but was born in Philadelphia, the city to where his father emigrated to from Baden, Germany. John Henry's father, Jacob Friedrich was born in 1826/7 in Baden, and was first found on the 1850 Philadelphia Census. He was then 23 years old. About Jacob: Jacob learned the brewing business in one of the Specht Breweries in Philadelphia at the time (we think) and left Philadelphia in late 1853 for San Francisco, where we find him in an 1854 City Business Directory as the proprietor of the San Francisco Brewing Company. He remained there for a number of years, but we believe he left San Francisco for a short trip back to Germany and later returned to Philadelphia in the 1870's. We have the census in Philadelphia (Jacob 23, Margaretha 21) and the 1860 San Francisco Census (Jacob 33, Margaret 31, John H. 8) showing correct dates. They appear to have been born in 1827 (Jacob) and 1829 (Margaretha). We have not been able to find a shipping list for Jacob or his wife, Margaretha (who married in 1850 according to the census). We don't know in which year he left Baden for Philadelphia, only that he was there in 1850. We do believe he was backed by either his family in Germany, who could have been wealthy, or by the Specht Brewery in Philadelphia, because emigrating to the USA, living for a few years in Philadelphia, moving to California, and creating a business there (a brewery takes a lot of cash to start up) which would take a large amount of money. We have found one shipping list that somewhat agrees to the two names is from the Utica, which left from the port of Havre, destination Pennsylvania in 1846. The Jacob there is listed as 31 years old, the Marguerite Specht listed as age 19. If the age of Jacob was incorrectly listed as 31, but was in fact 21, it could be our ancestors. Although I have seen the original shipping list, and there is no doubt that the age there was written as 31. But of course there were not many documents back then, maybe the listing was made verbally. Data: Jacob Friedrich Specht (born +/- 1827, date died unkown) Emigrated before 1850 from Baden to Philadelphia Wife Margaretha ? (born +/- 1829, date died unkown) John Henry Specht (born 1851 Philadelphia) Henry P. Specht (born 1878 SF) John L. Specht (born 1916) German Emmigration data. We are NOT sure that one of these is our ancestor, but some data items do match up. (there was a John Specht living with Jacob Specht in the 1850 Philadelphia Census) Emigration from Southwest-Germany Emigrant identification First name Last name Emigration year Continent Last place of residence gemeindeschluessel 4930 Johannes Specht 1850 North America Lichtenwald 08116037 252411 Jakob Specht 1850 North America Sinsheim 08226085 252412 Johann Specht 1850 North America Sinsheim 08226085 I am hoping that someone might have more data concerning these people. Thanks

Still trying to find record of GGGrandfather and wife that came to America about 1828-1830. Arrived at Charleston Carolina port. I found a record one time on a roll of film in a large library LISTED as SHIPS ON EASTERN SEABOARD. for that time of arrival. Surname was spelled quite differently than that used later. I think I remember it being something like "Spooner or Spooler William or Jacob Wife Fredricka, Destination Lexington Dist. Occupation Shoemaker. I do not have access to any microfilm where I live now. Thanks..W G Spharler.

Kerry, You wrote that you got Henry's date of immigration from the 1900 census but you failed to mention the state / county in which Henry lived at that time and the names of his wife and children. You may think that knowing this doesn't help but you may find out that this is a very important component when researching a family's ancestry. So, please, tell me where he lived in 1900 and the name of his wife and children.

Oh yes having the names of family members is very important if you have them. In fact that is how I found this family on the 1870 census I followed the sons name. On the 1900 census they are in San Antonio, Bexar Co. Texas. They are listed with the Chas Mckinnon household, this was his son in law. On this census he is listed with his second wife Caroline and their daughter Lilly. He had several other children 11 total. They were all born in San Antonio Texas. I have birthdates and/or baptism dates for all and death dates for most. The ones who pass in infancy are hard to find. I have found nothing to suggest that he was married prior to 1860 when he married his first wife Wilhelmina. I was told that he traveled to the US with his brother and I unfortunately don't have his brothers name and have not established if there even is a brother. I have only found two sisters. Henrietta Friedrika and Johanna Dorothee.

Susan, unless there was also a town named KOSEGER, the town I have was spelled KOSEEGER, District of Kolberg, Pommerania now known as COSESEC, Poland. The LDS only has civil registry records from 1874-1885, which wouldn't be any help to you. Then on another site I found that KOSEEGER is now Kozia Gora [Bialogard], Koszalin, Poland. It appears as if there has been some re-districting. I'm afraid that there is only a slim chance of finding any church records for that particular town. Now regarding your SCHROEDER immigrant family, you neglected to mention whether this elderly couple - Wilhelm would have been age 53 at immigration - came with children. I find it hard to believe that Wilhelm and Wilhelmine came alone at this stage in their life to start over, after all, there was no war in 1890 that would have prompted them to leave Germany. Do you know the names of their children, and if so, when did they immigrate and where did they settle?

This place is probably Koseeger, a farming estate ["Gut"] in the county [Kreis] of Kolberg-Koerlin, Pommerania. In 1905 the Lutherans attended church in Koerlin, and Koseeger had its own civil registration office. The civil registration records beginning in Oct 1874 through 1885 have een microfilmed and are available through a family history center in your area. Of the Lutheran parish register for Koerlin only the military church records have apparently survived the ravages of WWII. A detailed listing of available records and their locations , in German, is found at this website: http://www.kolberg-koerlin.de/Allgemein.htm The Pommern Genealogical Society "Pommerscher Greif" also has a special interest group for this county that collects genealogical information. These people would probably appreciate your sharing the information you have with them, so it can help others. And I would suggest that you go through the just over 10 years of available civil registration records and extract all entries of the surnames of interest. You may be able to tie some of them into your family line. Good luck! Baerbel "Could someone tell me how to get information from Koseger, Germany? My husband's family is from there.

Hello, Sue - I'm afraid I cannot help you with your contact question, but I was wondering if your SCHROEDER name goes through Cleveland, OH? I realize that it's not exactly an uncommon name, but I'm having some trouble climbing DOWN the family tree. I know my GF's sister Elisabeth came to Cleveland in 1899 with her husband Frederick Gottfried / Gottfried Frederick SCHROEDER and had 11 known kids altogether (2 were REINHOLZs, apparently from a previous marriage). I don't even have death dates on most of Elisabeth's children or know who some of married and of those who did marry for sure, I know nothing about their kids. Just curious!
