Dear Stephen Zierhut,

There were at least two families Zierhut that immigrated to São Bento do Sul, Brazil.

1. Magdalena Treml (41 years), spouse of Wenzel Zierhut, came from Neuern, Bohemia, through the "Rio de Janeiro" ship, in 1876. She brought her children Franz Zierhut (born 1864 in Neuern), Wenzel Zierhut (born 1865) and Josef Zierhut (born about 1868).

2. Josef Zierhut, born in Kolheim in 1853, son of Josef or Johann Zierhut and Therezia Altmann, immigrated from Decenic in 1887, through the "Valparaiso" ship. He was married to Catharina Kraupar (28) and had Carl Zierhut (2). Josef had also two sisters called Therezia Zierhut, born 1854 in Hinterhauser, and Barbara Zierhut.
