Dear List Readers,
I have for 3 years researched HEINRICH RAMMING VON REIDKIRCHEN, (Henry Ramming), * 4 May 1822 in Nimburgh, Austria , + 1862/63 in New Orleans while a Major in the Union Army. Heinrich was an Austrian Army Officer who later fought in the Schleswig-Holstein Army as a Captain in 1850. (He was on the defeated side.) He arrived in New York on 21 May 1851 on the bargue NoordAmerika from Hamburg. He was an editor of a newspaper, Der Demokrat, in Davenport, Iowa until 1861 when he joined the Union Army.
My problem is this; I can find no record of emigration or passage in any Hamburg Passenger Lists or other German documents. Can you help me please.
Thank you, Harlan Nieuwsma from Iowa
