Immigration Passenger Lists...

"I have been reading microfilm on Ancestry.com and I found the Johann Hurt family on toll 402 List 197 on the Ship Weser arriving at the Port of New York on 14 March 1876. Listed in Steerage are: Johann Hurt 41, Anna 14 child, Maria 9 child, Johann 8 child, Barbara 6 child, Franz 4 child, Anton 2 child, Maria 39 wife. In the 1880 census for Howard, NE are the following: John Hurt 50, Mary 45, Anna 18, John 13, Barbara 11, Frank 9, Antona 7. I am assuming from this listing that Maria age 9 in 1876, died before the 1880 census. I am also assuming that Anton in 1876 is the same as Antona in 1880. I cannot find Joseph P. Hurt in the Immigration records. He did not come over with his parents. We know he was in Nebraska by at least 1878 to marry Anna Wallman. I found an Anton Hurt on the Ship Oder landing in New York on 11 November 1876 but he was only 24 so I didn't think he was the Anton listed in the 1880 census as being 48. Can you shed some light on these discrepancies?" -- Your Cousin, Kathy Gregory - Email: gregory@rh.net   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
