I am working on the Fredrick and Louise (BETHKE) SCHWANKE line. From oral
family histories they arrived in New York on June 12, 1864 making their way to Ripon,
Wis. I have been searching for the ship that brought them to America from Germany.
This weekend another researcher provided me with a bit more information..same date,
same arrival port, but with the name of the ship as "quebeck" and originating from
Hamburg Germany. I am assuming that this ship name was "Quebec". The family that I
am looking for during this time period is: Fredrick SCHWANKE abt 33 years old, Louise
(Bethke) SCHWANKE abt 24 years old, and two sons, Gustav abt 3 and Adolph abt 1 at
time of arrival. Can anyone point me in a direction to search?
Thanks,
Pam
