Has anyone ever heard of the town "Herstielt" or anything like that?
Friedrich Strohmeyer
His wife came in 1853. She indicates she was from Hooksiel!
The family I am helping indicates in their manifest that they came from
that town!
Came to US in 1851 & 1853.
Thank you.
The place "Herstielt" or like this, is not present in Germany.
I think it is wrong written copy from the original document.
You should try to read the original passenger list.
The most concentration of the name Strohmeyer you can find in Herford, Hameln, Detmold and around.
Hooksiel is located in Ostfriesland, far away.
Sincerely,
Werner Honkomp
and a few around Hersfeld (today Bad Hersfeld).

Good idea, Herstielt could be Hersfeld.

Hooksiel was never in Ostfriesland, but always in Jeverland, always called
Friesland 
The people in the Jeverland country are still not Ostfriesen!

I'm sorry, Walter is right.

Moin Werner,
da sind die echten Jeverländer seit der von Frl. Maria von Jever erlebten
Enttäuschung vor 500 Jahren bis auf den heutigen Tag ganz "pingelig"! Die
Jeverländer möchten deshalb auch heute noch nicht als "Ostfriesen" tituliert
werden. 
Allen Listenteilnehmern, ganz egal ob Ost-, oder "nur" Friesen, oder sonstwo
auf unser Welt ein schönes und vor allem friedliches Weihnachtsfest,
Grüsse aus Friesland,
Walter F.
