I am hoping there is someone on the list willing and able to help me. I do not have easy access to "Germans to America" and have put off, for several years, looking for the immigration of my grandmother in about 1884.
Victoria Caroline Auguste Eckhardt born in 1867. She was known as Caroline Eckhardt. A young girl herself, she was traveling to New York with at least one of her younger sisters:
Johanne Caroline Friederike Eckhardt, known as Friederike Eckhardt, born 1869
Julianne Catherine Louise Eckhardt, known as Julianne Eckhardt, born 1871
Luise (Louise) Eckhardt, born 1873.
I have always felt that someone in New York would have sponsored these young girls and hope that information or at least their final destination would be on the record.
I would be very grateful for any information you could provide. Thank you, Marion Schmitz
