Valentines day has certainly turned out to be my lucky day. I want to thank all the wonderful people that have helped. I am overwhelmed with all the e-mails I received today that actually led me to my immigrant, Friedrich, and the ship they came over on. I am so excited and happy. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. Norma. Raymond Marsh wrote: > I am not related to this family. > >From Biographical Review Lee County Iowa 1905 page 181-183 > H.C.
