Hi Bob,
I have a copy of a portion of the Ship Orient passenger's list from Bremen to New York Oct. 2, 1834. My BOHNE family--at least part-came from Osnabrück and Hannover--both Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) now. Do you have the name of any towns your people came from? There are many Meiers on the portion of the list I have. Do you know if you are connected to the BOHNE family in any way? I have reason to believe they may have been connected through family ties. Some BOHNE people went to Nebraska from Illinois after the Civil War. One veteran was Alfred Herman Bohne. Let me know if you want me to list the names and ages of the Meier people on the list if you think it will help you.
