I am looking for more information about the WEGNER family from Poland/Russia. This passenger list excerpt includes the family members that my Great-Grandfather Ferdinand WEGNER immigrated to the USA with.

Wegner, Friedrich - age 38, male, farmer
Wegner, Louise - age 36, female, wife
Unknown/unreadable name - age 14, female
