Immigration found this 'nice to know' , and airlines searching?

You probably have to have ancestry.com subscription.

   I found it accidently the way best things are found.

   It is all the ship lists for 1869. You can work with the arrival date.
   Search here and then go back to the Hamburg list from germany and see
   if all the same. Maybe two to three weeks back.

   While going through passenger lists I happen to see a Luhmann from
   Eichdorf traveling to amerika. I left it and hurried on. Later, I
   looked one up at castle garden. Yes may 5,1869. Then I found I did
   find this Luhmann on hamburg lists leaving
   april 16, 1869 with his wife and daughter. Finding this information
   of above short cut is wonderful. Very nice to know. Not sure if it is
   the same as posted before.

     Now have to go back and find him on german list to make sure there
   were not two different sets. Something is nagging at me that I
   thought the mans name was Christian or Ernest and this Luhmann is
   listed as Heinrich only. I know I wrote down the page number of the
   first Luhmann I saw SOMEWHERE.

   Now an added subject AIRLINES are also included, if there were any
   in 1869. But it suggests data to 1950's.

   It could be helpful.

Now�an added subject�AIRLINES are also included, if there were any in 1869. But it suggests data to 1950's.

hmmm if there were, the Wright brothers were frauds. lol

You're making good headway on the immigration and passenger lists Jo. Soon you'll be advising the rest of us on it. Congrats. :wink:

Reminder to all to keep good progress (activity) notes, even when you hit no pay dirt in your searches. Helps avoid going over the same ground twice (or more). If we all could learn this one lesson, our work would be reduced in half.

Tsch�ss. Jb
