Eleanor, Jacob and Catherine immigrated on August 29, 1882 - there is no mentioned of someone helping them. Now when it says they immigrated, I don't know if that means that is the day they arrived or the day they became citizens.

Anyone have this name in their family tree? A gentleman by this name was apparently instrumental in bringing my g-g-g grandparents from Germany to Effingham in the mid 1880's.
