Would love to correspond with you. My ancestors immigrated to USA on the ship "Germania" from Hamburg, Germany, which landed in New York City 29 July 1869. They are listed in the ship's log as Kuhlbandner: Frederick- 29 years of age, Michael - 27 years of age, and their sister Margaret - 21 years of age. They ended up in Dayton, Ohio.
There are several different ways the Kuhbander name was spelled here in Dayton. Kuhlbandner, Kubautner, Kuhbandner, and Kuhbander.
Have also uncovered a Rosa Kuhbander living in Dayton, Ohio in 1880. She did not immigrate with Frederick or Michael, but she is too old in 1880 to be one of their children. Michael has 12 children, 10 which live to adulthood. Margaret has two children; Frederick's children are still elusive.
