Sorry, but this was the message they sent.
I suppose, Sailor James sailed from Hamburg or Bremen, from where some more
ships sailed to New York at this time. Furthermore Mecklenburg was linked by
a rail road to Hamburg since abt.1850. In 1851 a rail road engineer was
listed in the parish records in Ludwigslust. This disproves the rumor, that
everything happens 50 years later in Mecklenburg!!!!
I would like to return to the list members the question: where was Jacob
Johannes Eggers born in Mecklenburg?
