Hi,
I am seeking information on a Hermann (Herman / Hermany)Saalfrank. He is listed as living with my relatives in MA in 1880 as a brother in law. He must have been born in 1845 because he is listed as 35 years old. His name on the census is indexed as Hermany H. Saalfrouk b. Liepzig, Prussia.
I Googled his name and found a German filmmaker by the same name, different spelling.
I also found a passenger registration on the Ellis Island site for a Hermann in 1908. He was 63 years old which would make him the right age then to be the same Hermann as the one on the census. On the record he lists his residence as Leavenworth, Kan. He is listed as a US citizen and was married at the time. The ship departed from Cuxhaven.
I searched for him on the census records and couldn't find him. Who knows how it was indexed.
If anyone has any info on him please reply.
thanks,
Lisa
