(Thanks again, Robert Behra!) I am trying to locate the name of the ship that George Conrad Roos (b. 2-16-1786) came to America from Masevaux, Haut-Rhin, Alsace on. His passport was dated 5-4-1838. He came over with his five children, Ann Marie Louise b. 1816, Jacques Conrad b. 1818, Francois Auguste b. 1824, Marie Josephine b. 1826 and Louis Francois b. 1833. I believe George Conrad Roos might have started using the name Conrad Rose after he came to America. I think he originally settled in Ohio, then this family went to Iowa. I appreciate any help that you can give me. Even suggestions at what films I should be looking at are helpful to me. I have two children under four years old, and it is very difficult for me to do lengthy research at the library and LDS Family History Center, as I'm sure many of you understand. >> I have a couple of thoughts. The subject of your message refers to a 1938 ship but from the body you really mean 1838. Many people may have skipped over your message due to the 100 year discrepancy. You may want to repost. Since you know the town your subject came from, it is really easy to find the appropriate film at the LDS Family History Center. Use their computer index to the Salt Lake City library entering the name of the town and it will give you a list of the films available by church, government records, etc. You are asking someone else to do the same thing and they are less likely to figure out what is of interest to you.
