William H. (Henry) Mosing, was born August 7, 1871 in Wesselburen, Hamburg, Germany. He came to America June 1883 at the age of 11. It's assumed he would have come thru New York; according to the arrival date he would have come thru Castle Gardens. I would appreciate any information on William H. Mosing, where he arrived, and the ship's name. Thank you so much for your time, Sandra Van Wyk
