Surnames: Knobloch/Kables
I have been searching for a few years trying to find when Selma, Herman, and Fador Kables came across to America from Germany. We were told by Herman's daughter, Lorita,age 99, that there were possibly 6 children that came on the ship together. I recently found their names, but the last name was Knobloch, which we had heard from descendents of Selma's family. They were teased and called blockhead and thus changed their last name to Kables. Selm married an Orwick and they were in Minnesota and then moved onto Oregon. Their ages all seem accurate on the immigrant list. Does anyone have any more information to help with our family tree. The ship was "State of Georgia" Place of origin-Germany. Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland, and Larne Ireland. Arrival New York on May 24, 1882. One list says 1883. I also found them listed at www.castlegarden.org on their list. I would like to find Gus who was 19yrs at the time, Olga 8 yrs, and Aug. 4 yrs at that time. I have photos of Selma, Herman and Fador if anyone can make a connection to our family. Thanks for reading. Betty
