Matches matches made by John Stricker, May 2019:
- STRICKER: Michel 43, Marguerite 42, Marguerite 16, Catherine 14, Anna Marie 9, Jacob 7, Sebastien 4, Barbara 9mos.; from France
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- Many passengers on this ship have names that appear in Stundwiller, Oberroedern,
Aschbach, and Oberseebach.
- WALTER: Georges 20, Marguerite 30, Marie Anne 7, Francois 5, Marguerite
3, Therese 1/2
- PHILIPPS: Jean 36, Catherine 33, Jean 12, Marie Anne 10, Caroline 8, Rosine
6, Aloise 5, Martin 2, Catherine 3/4
- SCHWARZ: Catherine 53
- PHILIPPS: Georges 28, Marie Anne 26
- PHILIPPS: Marie Anne 26, Barbe 24
- Possible matches from the families of Stundwiller/Oberroedern/Aschbach:
- Thérèse CASPER, born 1814 in Aschbach, daughter of Michel
CASPER and Barbe MEYER
- Marguerite CASPER, born 26-Jan-1835 in Aschbach, daughter of Antoine
CASPER and Marguerite FISCHER
- Antoine FIX, born 29-Oct-1814, son of Jacques FIX and Marguerithe PHILIPPS
- This Antoine FIX married Catherine DANGLER 12-Mar-1859 in Aschbach, so either the Antoine on the ship is a different person, or he returned to Aschbach later
- Antoine LORENTZ, born 1817, son of Ambroise LORENTZ and Marie Anne PHILIPPS
- Matches and possible matches in the 1836
Census of Wissembourg Canton:
- KNITTEL: Elisabeth 23; living in Stundwiller, an employee in the household
of Mathias CASPAR and Barbe CLAUSS

and Marguerite STRASSER
- WEISS: Jacques 11, Bernard 9, Anne Marie 5; living in Stundwiller, in
the household of Mathias WEISS and Marguerite LORENTZ
- These passengers have names and ages matching individuals living in Oberseebach
in the 1836 Census of Wissembourg Canton.
So perhaps they are a group of Oberseebach emigrants all traveling together.
- Two possible matches for Michel STELL:
- STELL: Michel 15, living in the household of Philippe STELL and
Marguerite BECKER
- STELL: Michel 13, living in the household of Georges STELL and Rosine
HAENLING

SCHMITT

Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- KIEFFER: Joseph 36, Barbara 30, Therese 24, Josephine 5, Adelaide 9, Antoinette 3/4
- KIEFFER: Therese 24, listed in the family of Joseph and Barbara KIEFFER
- I am unable to identify her.
- In the 1836 census of Soufflenheim, the only Therese KIEFFER of this approximate age is Therese KIEFFER age 12, "Enfant naturel de KIEFFER Marguerite". That Therese KIEFFER married Philippe Bonn and had a daughter Josephine BONN born 08-Feb-1857 in Soufflenheim.
So she would not have been on this ship in 1854.
- In the marriage indexes of Soufflenheim, I see no Therese marrying a KIEFFER in the decade before this ship sailed.

- HAUSER: Joseph 37, Caroline 24; from France
Possible match made by Brian J. Smith:
- Andre MÜLLER, age 27, might match one of the two Soufflenheim birth records:

- Possible match for Chretien STEINMETZ (b.01-Nov-1808 in Wuerttemburg)
and his son Chretien (b.10-Jun-1841 in Hoenheim, Alsace)
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- HOCHENDEL: Joseph 17; from France
- Probable match:
Joseph HOCHENDEL, born 14-May-1838
in Leutenheim,
son of Joseph HOCHENDEL and Madelaine WILHELM
- HOCHENDEL: Francois 34, Marianne 29, Johann 7, Charles 6, Madelaine 3, Bernard 11/12

Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- BIEHN: Anseln 27; from France
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- KROLLMAN: Jacob 30; from Hesse
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- DREXLER: Sebastian 26
- SAUR: Francoise 40
- SAUR: Wendelin 10
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- UHRY or UHRIG: Ferdinand 21
- Some people have identified this as Ferdinand (born 1838), son of Joseph Vincent UHRICH and Madelaine HALTER of Soufflenheim. However, I am reluctant to make this match, since Ferdinand UHRICH would have been age 28, not 21.
Matches and possible matches made by Brian J. Smith:
- ULRICH: Chrysostome 57, Louise 49, Francis 26, Richarde 24, J.Bapt. 23, Magdeline 20, Justine 18, Chrysostome 15, Paul 11, Victor 9
Matches and possible matches made by Ken Hanson and Brian J. Smith:
- HUSS: Phillipp 32, Madeline 32, Marie 3, Emile 2, Eugene 8 mos.
- GOETZ: Martin 60
- I am unable to determine who this Martin GOETZ is.
Since his name appears next to the HUSS family,
and GOETZ was the maiden name of Madeline HUSS,
it could be that Martin GOETZ is related to Madeline.
Madeline's father Mathias GOETZ died in 1836, the same year she was born.
Madeline had no surviving uncles in 1866.
The Soufflenheim birth records show only one Martin GOETZ of this approximate age:
Jean Martin GOETZ, born 10-Nov-1806, son of Joseph Goetz & Marie Anne Haertel,
but he died in Soufflenheim on 03-Jul-1870.
