Hi, I am new to this list. I am excited to find some new information that might give me my first documented connection to Europe for my family. I need help in finding the documentation to support these suggested facts:
Fritz or Frederich MINNING - there are two people but I am not clear on the one who is married to Elizabeth HASSENROUGH. The information I found says that Elizabeth and her two sons, Rudolph (b. 1850) and Henrich (b. 1852) emigrated from Germany to New Orleans, Louisiana USA arriving 25 November 1857. She was met in New Orleans by her husband (either Fritz or Frederich) and possibly their daughter, Eliza (b. about 1848). Elizabeth (the mother) was born in 1848 in Germany. She is from Hanoveria (is this the same as Hanover?). The ship was D.M. Watjen.
What would be the likely German names that became MINNING? Is HASSENROUGH truly a German surname or is it misspelled?
Thanks for any help or suggestions on where to find more information.
I forgot to include in my previous post....if Eliza the daughter is the
correct person to be in my family, as an adult she married August MEYERS.
That happened in the 1860s I believe. They had one child. August MEYERS
disappears from the picture. By 1879 Eliza MINNING MEYERS married Johnathan
(John) KOENIG in New Orleans.
Both August MEYERS (b. About 1844 Germany) and John KOENIG (b. About 1848
Germany) are also from Germany, dates of birth and immigration to New
Orleans unknown.
Am also looking for a possible connection to Ferdinand MEYERS, born in
Germany about 1841 and in the US about 1842.
Thanks.
