I located a Fredrich Korner arrived Baltimore Aug 15 1853 from departure point Bremen aboard the ship Arnold Boninger. However, he was only 20, and the one you are asking for would have been about 33, if born in 1818. If he brought his wife/children with him, it would help to know their names. I was unable to locate my great great grandfather on the lists until I used one of the children's names and found them, yet the whole family was on the passenger list together. I've never been able to bring up his name, even as shown on the lists, but must use a child's name. Perhaps they accidentally overlooked entering his name in the database for the search. Also, it helps to know what part of "Germany" he was from. Germany didn't exist at the time. Most immigrants were listed as from the duchy, kingdom or whatever, where they had lived. My family was from the Kingdom of Hannover, and was never listed as from Germany. Note the double n in Hannover. It makes a difference. Another problem is what name he used to board the ship. Do you know whether he used his actual first name or a middle one by which he was called (the Rufname). My gggrandfather's name was Heinrich Frederich August Koelle, but was listed on the passenger list as "Fredr. Kolle" with the umlaut. (Input in English: Koelle.) His son whose name I used, was listed under his Rufname, third in his list of names. Germans are often hard to find! Susan in Louisiana
