The ship's point of departure was Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England: JOSEPH STEINBACKER AGE 29 FRANCISCA 26 AUGUST 10 ANNA 7 ELIZE 5 CARL 2 1900 CENSUS LAWRENCE CO, OHIO 148/198/201 STEINBACKER, JOSEPH __1841 Age 58 M 31yrs Occupation: Butcher FRANCISKA wife Nov 1844 55 5ch/5liv AUGUST son Nov 1870 29 CARL son Oct 1875.24...chemist MARY dau Apr 1877 23 ELIZABETH dau Oct 1874 25 FRANK son Mch 1882 18 1910 Census, Ironton, Law Co OH 280-/176/192 STEINBACKER, FRANCIS (female) 65 WD 7/5 AUGUST son Age 37 ELIZABETH dau 30 FRANK son 27 Notation: Says emmigrated in 1880 1920 census Law Co OH same address on 7th Street/Ironton 823 STINBACKER(sp)FRANCISKA 70 WD Emig 1881 Naturalized 1890 AUGUST son 46 Dealer/Livestock ELIZABETH dau 39 FRANK son 34 1930 822/ STEINBACKER, FRANZISKA 84 Wid AUGUST J. Son 52 Single/Cattle Dealer ELIZABETH dau 45 FRANK son 41 Other informtion: There is a death recorded for a FRANCISKA STEENBACKER (sp) on 7-6-1933. I did not locate her in the Death Certificate index, but perhaps there might be an obiutuary for her. You will need to contact the library via their web page or the Lawrence Co Web Site FRANK STEINBACKER died on 8-28-1932. There is a death certificate for him in the index No. 65820 That number is difficult to read in the index.It could be 68820???? Also the library has microfilm copies of Naturalizations Records. In the 1903-1906 Index is a JOSEPH listed on page 37 and 259 and one also for KARL on page 396. The library should be able to assist you on these copies. Also I came across a marriage for an ELIZABETH STEINBECKER to a WILLIAM STEINBECKER in Book 41 page 600. This should give the parents of both parties.
