Hi,
I'm sorry for the delay...I must have missed the response notification email. Thank you for providing so much information! Your immigration information really helped, since I had (erroneously, it seems) listed his immigration year as 1874. I now have a "jumping off point" for researching his family back in Germany.
I am looking for details on Josephine Goss Ochs's parents (Fenton Goss & Ann Enright), but I've scoured Ancestry's records pretty thoroughly. I think what I'm looking for is not found on this website as of yet. Thank you for the offer, however.
Take care,
Russell
