Hi am hoping you are able to tell me of a record I might check to locate further info for my GG-Grandparents and their parents.
Info I do have follows;
Johannes Wust/Weust and Augusta ( ? ) Wust/Weust
Johanne born abt 1824 (family Bible for info)
Augusta (?) born 16 Feb 1827 (family Bible)
Both born in Germany....no more specific info regarding where born for either.
Emigration records state the family originated from;
Flehingen, Bretten, Baden, Germany to America in 1884.
The immigration record shows their arrival on 16 Jul 1884, point of embarkation was Hamburg,
last residence was Wurtemburg, Germany,
on ship "Bohemia"
arrival in NY, NY.
They emigrated/immigrated with their 4 children;
Wilhelm Wust born 16 Feb 1856
Catherine Wust born 1860
Caroline "Carrie" Wust born 1865
Louise Wust born 8 Feb 1870
All of the children were born in Germany, again the only distinct location I have is for Flehingen, Bretten, Baden from the emigration record.
Do you have suggestions on how I might proceed to find out more about the familiy of Johannes and Augusta (?) Wust/Weust???
Please excuse the fact that I am unsure of the actual correct spelling of the surname. The son, WIlhelm, used the Weust spelling and at least one daughter, Louise, used the Wust (with Umlaute) spelling of the surname.
Any direction for further research would be so much appreciated.
Cordially,
Carrie Bias Hoffert
