My ggrandfather and gggrandmother came to Charleston from Prussia between 1842 & 1848. I have been told by John Rich at Bethany Cemetary that many Germans/Prussians were brought over on ships commanded by Capt. H. Wieting. There is a momument to him at Bethany and the ships he commanded. They were: The Barks, Johann Friedrich, Copernicus, & Gauss. This was between 1840 & 1868. I was told at the library that the port did not keep very good records and not much exist. Does any one have any information on this or any suggestions. Thanks, Bill
