The above name is my grandfather. He came to US from England and landed in New York in the first half of 1885. I have not been able to find him listed. Actually his name is Severinus Johannsen Thomsen but he told my cousin that when he got on the ship in England or when he landed in NY the captain of the ship put him down as John Thompson. He was born in 1868 in Haderslev that was under German control but was actually Danish. I have been checking Castle Garden Database, Ancestry.com and several other sites but have been unable to find him. If someone could check the German CD Passengers list and see if a John Thompson was listed in 1885 I would be very greatful. Thank you. Wilma Carpenter
