Caroline (born about 1817)and Sophia Charlotte (born about 1838) were listed arriving aboard the ship New Orleans from Germany, destined for St. Louis, MO. The ship docked in New Orleans in April 1856. I assume they were related, with family in St. Louis. Sophia Charlotte later married Ernst Kraft (or Krefft) in Madison Co. IL, on 13 January 1861, and they moved on to Kansas in the 1870's. They were my great grand parents. Appreciate any information or suggestions. Pat Cummins, thecomyn@aol.com
