Also, one thing I forgot to mention, on the ships manifest, it states that the folks on board "The Marianne" were headed to "Cincinnaty". I know this is not how to spell Cincinnati, seeing as how I lived the first 32 years of my life in that city, but this is how it was spelled on the manifest. The folks on board were Carl, Adelheid, Anna, Johann, Maria, Heinerich, Frienchen, and Anna. I'm thinking that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE my John Henry was either Heinrich, who was six at the time, or Johann (could be a spelling for John???), who was 9 at the time. Let me know about the spelling of your name over the years, my curiousity has gotten the best of me. Ha, Ha
