Ruth, please send the image to: Herb Teske 174 Linden Lane Chicago Heights, IL 60411 P.S. I'm at a loss for words to say how grateful I am for this information. How did you find this? Tell me some of your secrets. I've been working on this since 1952! I never thought I'd live long enough to obtain this. Ruth <ppokorny@new.rr.com> wrote: Hi Herb. I FOUND THEIR SHIP PASSENGER LIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!! On ancestry.com, I found them indexed under FERKE. But, only the males were indexed. I have no clue as to why. But, Elisa and Wilhelmine (I assume a daughter), ARE listed on the actual passenger list. Then, I also found them on the Castle Garden Website, Indexed under Ferk. Elisa and Wilhelmine WERE indexed here. I can send you the ship image offline if you want it.
