There is a story in my family that 5 Sehl brothers: Mathias, Christopher (Sill), Peter, Joseph, and Nicholas were in a shipwreck on their way to New York and that Mathias was lost at sea. The family was from Sehl (Mosel), Germany. The four surviving brothers then each made his way separately to Albany, NY where they were reunited. It appears that they arrived in 1854 which would coincide with the shipwreck of the "New Era" off the coast of New Jersey although their names do not appear in any records.I am looking for confirmation that the brothers were on this ship.
