I just noticed that the 1856 landing of Stella was in New York.� You
have New Orleans.� Something is wrong here!� They didn't have
teleportation in those days and Scotty wasn't around.

Also look for names on the manifest that are similiar to those where

Wow! Yes, something is wrong. because I have I copy from, Germans to American, in the book that has info for 1856 (on page 281) it says: SHIP: Stella, FROM: Bremen, TO: New Orleans, ARRIVED: 28 October 1856. Also, I printed another copy off of Ancestry that says New Orleans.
I actually flew to Ruma, Il. and spoke with their historical dept. and some folks that had lived there all their lives. They did not seem to know any last on the list. It is a very small town. So, I asked if I could get a phonebook....not a name the same??? If you notice on the shiplog he had his dest. as Indiana, but ended up in southern Il. So, I started checking IN> no Luck. That is why I am reaching out to this site. In hopes that someone, somewhere might have thought of another way I havent in the past years.
