I realize this is a long shot but I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion. I've just obtained the ships manifest for my g-grandmother Emma THOMA of Amden and Walenstadt, St. Gallen in 1903. The record states that she was joining her aunt Caroline BLEULER who was living in Rochester, NY. I've researched the address and see that the head of household was a Swiss immigrant named William KÜLLING (b. Jan. 1857) and wife Rosa (also Swiss, b. May 1865, possible maiden name SCHNEITER) who ran a restaurant and took in boarders. Caroline BLEULER's name does not match any of the boarders in the home, some of whom are also Swiss. I have not located a Caroline BLEULER in either the 1900 or 1910 census to determine an age or year of immigration. I did locate two Swiss Caroline BLEULER's who arrived at Ellis Island in 1896. The manifest does not line up at the Ellis Island site to confirm other data, but the index shows that the elder Caroline was born about 1839 and the younger born about about 1875. It appears there was another BLEULER on the same ship, Paul BLEULER, b. abt 1881. I located Paul in 1910. That census listing shows him to be Swiss-French speaking and further checking on him indicates his mother's maiden name was FAIGAUX. From the index, I cannot tell if Paul is the elder Caroline's son. Unless the elder Caroline's husband was somehow related to the BLEULERs of St. Gallen, I'm not seeing anything to directly link these BLEULER's to the ones I'm looking for. There are other BLEULER's in the index with other arrival dates. I was able to view the manifests on those. Some of them show origins in Walenstadt, St. Gallen or just "St. Gallen." Emma THOMA was the daughter of Joseph THOMA (b. 22 Feb, 1843, d. 10 Dec. 1906) and Maria Josepha Elizabeth Boni (b. 8 July 1848, d. Dec. 1896), last of Walenstadt, St. Gallen. Would anyone have any further records on her or a suggestion about how I might proceed on this? Thank you! Shelly
