Hi Ed:
   With all the comments about the posibility of so many different
   spellings, I did a wild card check on Castle Garden using I* Noh* and
   got the following:

   [1]First name [2]Last name [3]Occupation [4]Age [5]Sex [6]Arrived
   [7]Origin [8]Ship
   IGNACE [9]NOHHERR CHILD, YOUNGSTER 9 M 5 Jan 1848 GERMANY SAINT
   NICOLAS

    The dates are close, but the origin is simply Germany. I am
   betting that the spelling here is incorrect and simply spells out what
   the writer thought it might be.
   Good luck,
   Gale

Information on page about LeHarve departures.
http://www.progenealogists.com/germany/articles/gdepart.htm

The port of LeHavre was mainly used by emigrants from southern Germany during the period from about 1830 to 1870

Top of shiplist for St. Nicholas gives Baden as residence on the page the Nohherr/Hofherr family is listed. There is no other locality listed on this page, though the page looks to have been torn or damaged about the area the family begins. The destination at top of page appears to list Michigan.

Castlegarden.org destination code gives:

7328 Hartford, Conn.

Warm Regards,
