Hi Sandy:
�
The titles wife, daughter, etc does not necessarily mean that the
listed relationship is to your relative.� The wife could be his aunt
the daughters could be the aunt's daughters or maybe his sisters.
�
However, I am betting that the "wife"� was the mother of all the
others and Heinrich was her oldest son and Tekla was her oldest
daughter.� As the oldest adult son, Heinrich was responsible for all
of them.
�
If you go to Germany, where would you go?� You don't know where they
came from.
�
However, with six people, there just has to be a paper trail
somewhere.

Hi Gale,
Thanks for your help. Yes, I did look at the whole manifest, but it
is �
the weirdest thing. If you look at the others with my gg
grandfather �
they NEVER show up again.....anywhere. I know he landed in 1856 in
New �
Orleans, La. I also know he spent his life in Ruma, Randolph
County, �
Il. I have a census for 1870,1880, and 1900. Never have i found
info �
on the others that show on the manifest. It's like they
disappeared?? �
Plus, look at the ages, he was 21yrs. but it says there was a
daughter �
Catherina 17yrs and Tekla 24 yrs. Then, a wife that was 49yrs.?? �
Someone once told me that maybe he was "just bringing them over".
�
because they were all women and usually � women would not travel by
�
themselves. What do you think? I have tried to search for each of
them �
on Ancestry and have had no luck. But I did find my gg grandfather.
�
Any suggestions??
I also found my gg Uncle Gottlieb Sievers.....but once again I
still �
can not find where they come from in Germany. My husband says I am
�
"true German" because I have been at this on my own for almost 10
�
years......and wont quit. I want to visit Germany one day soon, to
see �
where my famiy came from.
Blessings & Joy,
sandy sievers cooper
