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.

This is my g-g-grandfather-in-law his name is Heinrich Andreas Fuhrmeister he went by Henry. He was born in 1832 in Rhoden, Halberstadt, Magdaburg, Prussia. (that is what was translated from his marriage record) He immigrated to the US in 1854, I got this date from the 1900 census and was told by my husbands aunt (her husband was one of Heinrich's great grandson's he and my husbands father are deceased)that Heinrich aka Henry came in to the country at Pittsburg, PA with a brother she thought, one went to Texas and the other to the Dakota territory. I have no proof of the brother right now. I don't know the port of departure and the port of arrival is only from word of mouth. I had assumed that Heinrich would have come into the country via Galveston or a Gulf Port but I have found nothing there either. The reason why my last post didn't include all of this other information is because it doesn't help. At least it hasn't helped me. The info i have was gathered from death certificates and church records. I hope someone else has better luck with this info. As far as I have found he never used his middle name at least here in the states. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390708/direct/01/ For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com Please visit and participate in our new forum http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
