Hello- With much thanks to Werner LicLichter, I have more information on John SCHNEIDER of Neidenbach. He was a stone mason, single, born 12/30/1857 emmigrated with permission of prussian goverment to North-America in spring 1880 (May-June). Now I need to know: what ship (no list I have found shows the ships that left Germany in 1880) Also anything about his parents, siblings, etc. Also am looking for information on ANNA GROSSBACH. She was from the same basic area but married John in the states. Jan Francis (janfrancis@aol.com)
