I recently read an article pertaining to my husband's family being ship builders in Elmshorn, Germany. Richard and his son Jacob were involved with the business. Jacob and his wife Catherine had 7 children, in which their youngest, Deidrich Julius immigrated to the US in 1873. I do not know the names of his siblings, but know for sure of 1 male and 2 female that were living in Germany in 1910 at the time of Julius' death. I am trying to find information on this family along with any information on ship builders in Germany during the early 1800's. Jacob was born in 1806 and his Dad, Dick also was into shipbuilding. Anyone have any information about this family and/or shipbuilders in Elmshorn, Germany I would love to hear from you. Thank you!!
