Hi, I want to thank everybody for the help offered concerning the "Ann". My sources are * the report of the constable who put my ggg-grandfather aboard this ship, which contains shipname "Ann", name of the captain (Horstmann" and date of departure in Bremerhaven (August 4th, 1846). * The bill for the passage, which contains the ships name, month and year. ("Ann", July 1846) * I found a ship with Captain Horstmann one year later in Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild: "Ship Ann, Bremen, Germany to Baltimore, Maryland, 10 June 1847, I, J. Horstmann, Master of the Ship Ann of Bremen........." So far I have not been able to find my ancestor Christian Pape on the other side of the ocean or to find any more information on the ship. Any hints in which direction to search or where I can obtain the Passengerlist or shipsinfo are welcome.
