After looking at the Ship Record from Edmund Perkins dated June 8, 1843, I find Rudolf Soland, wife Maria, Children: Maria, Heinrich, SAnna, Samuel, Rudolf, Freiderich, Vernus and Lizetta. In 1850 New Orleans Census, I find Mary Soland and Henry with children Fred, Sam, Prudence, Frances and Elizabeth.
The ages and names do not match which makes me think these families, though they may be related are not one in the same.
What I do know is my line comes from a Frederick born about 1836 which is closer to the Census Family than the ship record family. My relatives have claimed that all were family, but I am not convinced of the connection. Can someone help?
