Hello Marge, It's not as simple as looking up an immigrant on the passenger list, especially since early arrivals never give a date of birth but only an approxiate age. I always want to check first where they settled after they came here, perhaps she followed another family member. No woman would up and leave her home country without knowing in advance where she was going to live after she got there. Perhaps you can provide some vital information such as: Is "Grün/Gruen" her maiden name? What reason do you have to believe that she came to Buffalo? Whom did she marry after she came here? Where did she live? Ursula Marge Ganser-Heibel wrote: > I have been unable to find any info re: Catharine Grun (umlat) /Gruen/Green's immigration.

Thanks for the reply: Grun was her maiden name. An assumption.....she joined her future husband, Simon Ganser (from Mettendorf also) who immigrated 26 April 1852.....Antwerp to New York aboard the Elizabeth Denison. She may have come with another family member but have not determined that. Her father's name was Peter Grun and there may be a brother by the same name. Simon's destination was Buffalo Erie NY and they lived in Clarence Erie near Buffalo after marriage 25 Oct 1856 at St. Mary's RC church in Swormville Erie NY and in 1869 moved to North Fork Delaware Iowa.
