Carl Joachim Heinrich Gernentz born 15 October 1846 in Wardow (Laage Parish). Married Eliza D. Riss & came to USA 13 November 1882 on ship "Cimbria" with 3 children & a mother-in-law named Sophia Riss (maiden name unknown) who was born 11 May 1819 (place unknown). Have not been able to find her name on the ship register but according to 1900 census in LaSalle co. Allen township in Ransom, Illinois Sophia says she came to US 1882 but I have not been able to locate her name....? Sophia Riss died 1903 in Ransom, Illinois. Looking for any information...She is my brick wall.... Thank you & greetings from Oregon, USA Mary Lou
