The family of G.H. Ordemann, (painter) did not include Thomas. On the Manifest for the family there are listed his spouse, Catherina and seven children: Friedrich Wilhelm, Johanna Magdalena (the person I'm interested in), Metha, Gerhard, Gottfried, Conrad and Anton. I expect more children may have been born in the USA (Frederic?), but where does Thomas fit in? Did I miss him? If he was born in 1851 he should have been on the ship...or is he Conrad (age 2 upon arrival) with a name change? Adoption? Or is it the wrong family entirely? Would appreciate enlightenment as I'm not an expert in these things.
