Among the passengers on the Bark Gerhard which arrived in New Orleans from Bremen 6 Nov 1857 were B. "JARKS", 29 male laborer and "JARKS", C., 22 female. It looks like they were from Thunum. Does anyone know which TJARKS family this might be? I'm fairly confident it is TJARKS and am hoping to match them up with the TJARKS who emigrated from Ostfriesland to Woodford Co, Illinois.
Thanks,
