Bobbi, just to clear up the confusion, my reply was to Kerry Fuhrmeister [not to Karl] who asked if her Texas immigrants didn't come through Galveston, what would have been the other seaport. To this I replied "New Orleans". You replied to Karl, whose ancestors settled in Missouri in the late 1820s - 1830.

Considering that Karl had not found the location of entry, it is something to look into.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I have been looking on Ancestry at New Orleans Passenger lists for Dec 1854 so far no luck...ggrrr. The "Texas Adelsverein" is why I assumed he came in at Galveston, I couldn't remember the name of it.
