Hi-
Here's what I have.
In january of 1893 Ellis Island reports arrival of FREIDRICH HARTMANN, wife ALWINE, daughter HELENE from POLLNITZ< West Prussia.
In March of 1893, EI reports arrival of Theodor Heinrich Anton HARTMANN,(B 1857), wife Mathilde, and JOHN, MARIE, THEODOR and FRANZ aboard the NordLLoyd ship 'AMERIKA".
Tillie wanted to visit her TESMER relatives in WALLINGFORD, CT. They found a job and a place to live and went no further inland. John was my grandfather who married AnNNA MICHALKLE in 1900.
Sometimes I wish the Hartmann name was not so common in Germany......like I had a choice!
