Comment by Catherine Davis on March 2, 2011 at 11:43am: Anne, what about this, from ancestry.com:

G. A. Luckhardt, 30 yrs, single, occupation= laborer country of origin=Germany

sailed on SS Rhynland from Antwerp to NY, arriv NY 30 June 1883

Comment by Anne on March 2, 2011 at 11:25am: Trying to find immigration or ship records for Lieckert (alternate spellings Lickert, leickert, leichert, etc) immigrated to the US abt 1881 and was born abt 1854. Would have been a single male on arrival and most likely came from Sachsen. I have also seen some sketchy info that he was from near Eisleben. When he moved to Kentucky and Married he went by the name George Adam Lieckert or Adam. I do not know if this is his real name. I am trying to find his birthplace and the names of his parents.

Comment by Linda Steele Winter on March 1, 2011 at 9:52am: I am trying to find information on the Charles Augustus Winter line. He was born in Leipzig, Germany. Other surnames I am looking for are: Gaiser, Schultz, Mast, Wurth, Hess/or Haas and Finkbeiner.

Comment by Rhonda Foley on February 28, 2011 at 6:52pm: Thank you Michael for the help!

Comment by Catherine Davis on February 21, 2011 at 7:56pm: Augustus, Have you tried the people search routine on familysearch.org? I found birth record transcriptions, not actual records, for a couple of different Gerhard Giessens in Mulheim, one in 1762, one in 1806. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any death records out there yet, as least for Gerhards.

Comment by Albertus Lang on February 21, 2011 at 4:13pm: Hello Catherine,Many thanks for the details on German language etc,no i have not seen that site so will give it a try also local family center is too far to go over 4 hrs drive,so will have to try and make a day sometime,i have found some details ,such as birth & Marriage but very hard to follow so your will try your input ,once again many thanks Albertus.
