My great-grandfather kept a journal of his passage from Germany to Castle Garden NY in early 1871, "arriving in the harbor on Pentecost Sunday". When the journal was translated into English, the translator used the English word "Goose" for the ship's name -- which my g-grandfather may have intended to be a metaphor for the ship and not its actual signature. I do not have access to the original journal, so I do not know the actual German word used. Neither have I been able to locate his name on any passenger list: August Barz.... He traveled with a family named Ratzlaff. Can anyone help me out? Thanks
