I am researching the family of Fredrick August Wilhelm Porath born on 2/22/1872 in Iowa. He married Edith Larson who was born 4/29/1938 in south dakota. Any information on this family is being used for a family tree for a reunion this summer.

Many Poraths living in WI. Do you know where the family arrived when first coming to the US?

Hello,
August Ferdinand Porath family arrived April 30, 1873 in NYC on Ship Humboldt from Stettin, Pommern.
I believe that the Mormons at their Family History Centers have the baltimore ship lists on microfilm.

My great grandfather was August Porath, who came to the U.S. in 1897 also another August Porath came to U.S. in 1906 age 72 thru Ellis Island. I am wondering if Frederick August is either one of their father's. Do you have any other information?

To Ted. Where did you find the information on the arrival of A F Porath? I have-online-searched thru (Familysearch.org) and ancestry.com, trying to find the record of his arrival. His Declaration of Intent, applying for citizenship, 1876, states he arrived May 3, 1873. So far, I have not been able to locate his name on any pass lists on either date. Can you perhaps help me find the information you have?? (August Ferdinand Porath, wife, Wilhelmine, Lena-Helene)
