Hi Gale,
I tried it again, twice, using 1855, once with Holstein and once with
Schleswig and both times
got the response------No record found.
what am I doing wrong? I'm 81 and this computer stuff scares the
daylights out of me!!!

Hi Edith:
When I make selections on the entry page, I do not get uniform results.
Do not click on a year. 1 Click on the blank above the year 1769. Make sure you click on it. If it is still highlighted, it has not been selected.
2 Type in name, 3 surname only. 4 With at least one of the words. 5 Sort by name.
You will get 15 pages of Claussen's with 50 per page, except for the last page. You will get a similar number if you use one "s".
Take special note of the family number. If you find one you like, click on List complete Household.
You may also like to try Castle Garden. It existed before Ellis Island.

Hi Edith,
If you want to search castlegarden.org
Go here:
http://stevemorse.org/ellis/cg.html
Enter just:
Claus......
or try
Klaus...
Or other name variations...
Enter this along with year 1873/1873 (if you are certain of year)
Or perhaps 1870-1875..
And then look at results...
If you find match...look at ship name..
Go back to above site and enter shipname and year of that ship.

Hi Gale,
That website is for Schleswig, isn't it? Edith's people are from
Holstein. I wouldn't think they'd be in the Schleswig census records.
No?
