Four Children (I belive) came to the USA from Prussia via ship in 1868 to New Orleans. They are:
Anton, Angela, Gertrude, and Elisabeth Erig. They were Catholic. Angela married Joseph Witte. They had three children: Elizabeth (died young?), John Arthur, and Joseph C (Joe).
If anyone has any information on this family, please email me. Thanks. Especially looking for information on the senior Joseph Witte, born approx 1851 in Iowa.
