Hi. I am trying to find when Anton (my 3rd gr grand) left Jamaica along with when/where he arrived in United States. He arrived in Jamaica in 1834 (age 30) and was with his wife Elis Freitag (age 26), son Joseph (age 1) and brother Andreas (age 24).
Son Frederick was born 4/10/1834. His death certificate indicates he was born on a West Indies Island, assuming this is Jamaica.
1900 census shows son Joseph immigrated to US in 1835 and son Frederick immigrated to US in 1836.
Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction. :)
