Her name was Johanne/Johanna Riewestahl/Riebestahl. She was around 22 years old and came from Prussia with her father Johann Riewestahl age 54,and her sister Wihelmine in1871. They traveled from Copenhagen or Christionsand to New York. They ended up in Bay City. Johanna married Michael Henninger the same year,Oct. 3,1871.I always wondered what part of Prussia they came from and why they traveled from Denmark. Thank you!
