On 16 April 1850 Christian Vorbeck left the port of Hamburg, Germany on the ship Fortunatus enroute (direct) to Quebec, Canada. The passenger list shows him by travelling alone.
I don't know have any information on him while in Quebec. The next time he appears is in the 1860 New York state census living on Grand Island near Buffalo. He now has a wife Elisabeth (Yetta),and two children William (3)and Elisabeth (1). There was another daughter, Louise (1856)who died of the croup in 1860 prior to the census. Any information about Christian and Yetta in Canada would be appreciated.
