Possibly sisters from Ellis Island records:
Dorothea Kaal Age: 20
Port of Embarkation: Rotterdam
Vessel: Edam Destination: Los Angeles, CA
Date of Arrival: September 11, 1893
Microfilm Roll: 618 Ship Manifest number: 1410
Christine Kaal Age: 24
Port of Embarkation: Rotterdam
Vessel: Edam
Destination: Los Angeles, CA
Date of Arrival: September 11, 1893
Microfilm Roll: 618 Ship Manifest number: 1410
She was supposed to have accompanied her parents in 1885 when she immigrated to the US. I find no record of the Kaal surname on ship manifests during this period. We have no port of immigration, but suspect that it was New York.
There are no death records(supposedly destroyed during a fire sometime in the 1890's) of her parents. The two above named Kaal's also disappear from records(those I have checked for in California, at least) after their arrival in Los Angeles and remaining family does not remember any sisters being mentioned, but believe that there were other children that immigrated at a later date.
Also no record of Magdalena's marriage to Daniel Conant has been located and with the exception of the above two census records I find nothing else on her. Any help with her would be appreciated.
