I am looking for information about the following
persons who emigrated to America in 1851 on the ship
"Uhland" from Bremen, Germany, to New Orleans,
Louisiana, USA. They reported their "home country" as
"Lippe Detmold" and could possibly have been from
Lemgo. Sorry - I only speak English.
Eduard (or Edward) Menke, born about 1815
Caroline Menke, born about 1815
Eduard could also go by "Arnold Edward Menke"
Any info on the Menke family in general from this
region is also appreciated.
Thanks,
Christina
Perhaps
this one?
Best wishes

Hi Christina,
the book "Die Auswanderer aus dem Fürstentum Lippe bis 1877" (The Emigrants
from the principality of Lippe until 1877) lists Eduard Menke from Schötmar,
Turner. He emigrated with his wife and children on September 15, 1851. The
names of his wife and children are not mentioned nor any dates.
Since Menke is not a name I do research on I don't have other data. Maybe
you should get into contact with the Lippe-Forum.
Kind regards
Harald
