Hi Robert, unfortunately I have not found yet the immigration date of Herman G Otten born (calculated from cemetery data) in 1829 in Germany, nor do I have found his emigration data from Germany. Due to the area I expect him to come from (close to Bremen), I would presume, he emigrated thru Bremen port. First trace from him in the US is from 1855.
