Barbara -
Thanks for the information � with it I spent a
couple of hours on the three sites trying to
locate a grand-uncle. Adolf Morstadt, born
18 October 1824 in Stederdorf, Landkreis
Peine (east of Hannover) emigrated to the
US sometime around 1855 +- ten years and
settled in Petaluma, California.
The information I am seeking for the family
history I am writing is:
Date and port of embarkation, the name of
the ship and port of debarkation.
I will be most endebted to you if you could
help me.
Juan J. Lins-Morstadt, North Kingstown, RI
Hello,
I don't find Adolf Morstadt on ship lists or in the emigration
archives. This person could be his sibling:

I would contact the person who owns that pedigree and see if you can
find more information that way.
Have you looked at the books Germans to America? There are names and
more information there. These are usually found in public libraries. There
are other books on passenger lists in public libraries.
I take it that you are not so much interested in Germany information as
USA info. You could find a lot more on Ancestry.com That is fee-based, but
you can try it out for free for 14 days. When I searched there, I saw a few
Adolph Morstadts.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
