Hi Hannover Sleuths,
Thanks to many fine suggestions from you all, I have been able to advance my search for my Great Grandfather Frederick F Speckman(n) from the 1870 US Census to his entry into the US in 1860. The details of his entry are as follows:
Entered in New York, at Castle Garden
Date June 6 1860 arrival
Name Fredk Speckmann
Age 16
Ocupation Farmer
Ship Elizabeth
I am trying to obtain a copy of the record from New York. Meanwhile I am tryng to find out if there is a way to search from the other end (Germany), knowing the arrival date and ships's name. That is, are there lists of emigrants leaving from Germany based upon date and ship?
Any help would be apprecaited,
Thanks,
Barney Speckman
