My great-great-grandfather emigrated from Bremen to the USA and eventually Cincinnati, Ohio. He's listed in the ship manifest departing Bremen in September 1837 but I'm having trouble locating the town listed for him, which looks like Buchsen. The manifest with its headings: http://sakionline.net/uploads/1837manifest.jpg and a close-up of the area with his name: http://sakionline.net/uploads/sophiesept1837.jpg He's Johann Gerhard Robers with a brother or cousin Gerhard Robers. Using modern-day maps and JewishGen's Shtetl-Seeker I can't locate a town called Buchsen. There are several Bachhausen, Buchhausen, and the like, but nothing matching what's written on the manifest. Can anyone suggest what this town might be? Regards, Debra MacLaughlan-Dumes http://sakionline.net/familypage ------------------------------------------
