Dear List:
Happy New Year!
I tried on Ancestry.com to find my great-grandfather Claus Steinberg,
but I had no luck. Mainly, what I am asking is how to find the records of what
ship he came over on to the U. S. from Bremen, Germany to Baltimore, Maryland,
USA. He was born in Franzhorn, Hannover, Germany in 1835. He, and possibly
one son, emigrated to the USA circa 1880 to 1885. His wife, Maria, and 6 of
her children, and her sister, also born in Hannover, Germany, came over on the
ship, Oder, in 1884, landing in New York City, USA.
Thank you to anyone who can help me.
Regards; Sue, in Altoona, Pa. USA.
Franzhorn is a part of the community Barghorn, about 20 miles easterly from the port Bremerhaven.
There some Steinberg addresses, here one of them:
Walter Steinberg
Hegebuschstr. 7
27442 Gnarrenburg
I hope it help,
Werner Honkomp
Guten Tag.

Hello Sue,
I haven't found the ship on which Claus Steinberg came to the U.S.
If you are interested in other information about him with pictures of the
area where he lived, you should look at this website:

Perhaps you have already seen it. By the way, the tiny town is listed
on the map I have as Franzenhorn near Brillet which is just north of
Gnarrenburg.
The most likely parish church would be Gnarrenburg. The LDS have records
that may include your family:
Kirchenbuch, 1715-1852 Evangelische Kirche Kuhstedt (Kr. Bremervörde)
Kirchenbuch, 1790-1852 Evangelische Kirche Gnarrenburg (Kr. Bremervörde)
Perhaps you already have all that information. Your request was about
the ship Claus would have been on. I checked Castlegarden.org - there are
many Steinbergs listed there, but no Claus.
By the way, there are 2 entries for Claus Steinberg from Brillet on
Rootsweb World Connect.
Good luck,
Barbara
Here you can find a picture of the ship ODER :

Good morning.
The most likely parish church would be Gnarrenburg. The LDS have records
that may include your family:
Kirchenbuch, 1715-1852 Evangelische Kirche Kuhstedt (Kr. Bremerv�rde)
Kirchenbuch, 1790-1852 Evangelische Kirche Gnarrenburg (Kr. Bremerv�rde)
Thats wrong. The parish church is Kirchwistedt.

I think Barbara was correct. I have a Familienbuch for Gnarrenburg and it
lists a marriage for Claus Hinrich STEINBERG from Franzhorn and Maria
OERDING in Sept. 1859. Parents of Claus were Diedrich and Gesche Maria
GLAHN. Parents of Maria were Christoph and Rebecka VIEBROCK.
There is only one other STEINBERG listed, That was a Hinrich STEINBERG and
wife Margarete PRIGGE who lived in Billit. No children are listed for either
couple.
