I sent this on September 4th, did anyone receive this message? Did I leave out anything that would enable someone to help me look for his immigration? Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how to find this man's immigration to the U.S.?

Maybe this one didn't go on to Missouri? Ship Name: Neckar Name: Heinr Kruse Port of Departure: Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England Arrival Date: 7 Dec. 1881 Port of Arrival: New York Birth Year: approx. 1860 Age: 21 Gender: Male Destination: St Louis, MO, U.S.A.

Ship Name: Silesia Name: Heinrich Kruse Arrival Date: 16 July 1883 Port of Arrival: New York Birth Year: approx. 1858 Age: 25 Gender: Male Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany Destination: U.S.A. Place of Origin: Hamburg Occuaption: "sagarmaker" Microfilm Series/Roll: M237_468; List No. 892, Line # 11 ___ These 3 seem closest of what dates you listed. But am sure there may be many others with the same names not on Internet lists yet. He could have filed his Declaration of Intent Papers in Cincinnati. Did you check there too? Many filed one place but just moved on somewhere else. Can you narrow down the year to when he was in Cincinnati by their city directories or tax rolls? Just suggestions to pinpoint his arrival in the U.S. with the Immigration Date on the Census.
