How positive are we that the Henry Sievers in Ruma was the one who
arrived in New Orleans in 1856?
Hi Joel, this is exactly the point. The name Henry Sievers is not so
uncommon at ancestry.com.
We have two Henry Sievers living in St. Louis, .......... There is
absolutely no proof, that the one in the shiplist is the right one. I will try to find
out more tomorrow, when i have a little more time.
I would try Sie* in the search mask, and the year of birth for the search,
but of course knowing that the shiplist may have horrible misspellings he can
be even Severs or whatever.
So i should perhaps try it with Henry or Hei* (for Heinrich cause even
Heinrich is sometimes misspelled as HEIMrich) and year of birth 1832 two or five
years up and down and then see what i can get. Of course there is no 100
percent proof that he has taken a ship to St. Louis. What if a ship to Philadelphia
was cheaper? I found out there is nothing impossible searching people in the
shiplist.
Hope he was not a swimmer LOL, i have 2 swimmers in my family. I never found
them in the list.
