Hello lister group. I have a new years challenge. I am family historian and genealogist for the Lucht, Kalk(e), Finke, Krone and other names in our family. I am trying to find out information on my great grand father Gottfried Lucht (b. abt. Mar 1847) and his wife Wilhelmina (Meyer b. abt. 1845 date depending on which census a person is looking at) Lucht. According to 1900 US Census (Dayton township, Hennepin county, Minnesota, sheet 6, line 1 and 2) shows 1874 as immigration date and naturalized in PA (Pennsylvania ?) What I need to know is any verbage or ,jpg of naturalization papers, immigration from (old family members said they came from Luebgust, Pommerania, Prussia? Ship name? Probably travel to US with Charley Meyer family. Another bit of information is according to 1910 US Census (Corcoran township, Hennepin county, Minnesota, sheet 4A, line 18) shows 1877 as arrival date. Did he travel back to Germany (who knows) and give a new date or what? ship? Why did he say two arrival dates on two different census' dates? Any information found out would add to our family history. I'm at a road block. Thanks for any help, James Lucht

I found a couple possibilities, but who knows. Not all things matched. The immigration has to be between 1873 and 1877 because of the age of the first two children. I found a family called Luck which is a possibility. The father doesn't have the right name though, and is too old. And I found another who had a Meyer in the next line, but again the names and ages didn't match. It is a real possibility that Gottfried could be a second name and the first one is Johann. In many families, they used one surname for all the children, and then named them differently in the second name. Anyway, you will have to look at all the ship records and try for different names, such as Gottfried, Wilhemine, Mina or Mine, Hulda in your searches. And perhaps even try the Meyer one. My records for the church are at my sons house in a file cabinet. Probably it will be next week before I can access them. I had forgotten all about my file cabinet not coming up here with my move. I will keep in touch, marge -------------------------------------------------- From: "james" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 11:47 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [G-P-L] Lucht Immigration > Hello lister group.
