Submitted for Emily Dahlstrom "My ancestors come from the Mecklenberg Schwerin area of GER. There was a ship called the Holsatia which sailed from Hamburg and Havre (GER) to New York. It arr. 21 May 1874. On the passendger list, it mentions Fritz and Frederika Kunkel with their children Carl, Anna and Sophie. The information isn't quite right, but they COULD be my family members. "The father, Karl Frederick was called Frederick. The Mother's maiden name was pronounced HAWK, but was spelled HOAK or HOAKE. As the family grew, she became known as Grannie. She ended her years at the home of her dau Sophie BULL. "Karl Frederick and Frederika had 5 children. Only two of them married and produced children: Karl Frederick and Sophie. The oldest, Karl Frederick, was called 'Charles' in America, as the family was told there was no such name as Karl. Charles died before the age of 40, leaving 5 young children. "The family lived and died in Buffalo NY. "I'd like to know the parents and/or siblings of the parents of this family."
