Wondering if any one has any info on Arnold Conrad Steffensmeier born August 20 1846 Delbrueck, Westphalia Germany. Through family lore, his immigration to the USA was secret. And he may have had a twin brother imigrate with him, and they were seperated when they got to the USA. Any help with this would be appreciated, Thanks.
Sincerely,
Jamey L. Steffensmeier
As Conrad Steffensmeier, according to the 1920 U.S. federal census, he lived in New Wine Township, Dubuque, Iowa. He listed his birth year as 1846, his emigration year as 1866, and his year of naturalization as 1876. This is via Ancestry Library.
You can find a few records for him at Familysearch.org, including an 1879 marriage record.
To find a passenger manifest you can check castlegarden.org, though you might have to get creative with the spelling of his surname.
