    Notes:

    Burkhard (t) means "defender of the city." In Germany, Johnn was a "zimmerman" or in English, a carpenter. The tree also states, "The mother of the family together with her children emigrated to the U.S. in 1856 although the father did not." He didn't stay in Germany, but came over to the U.S. before his family did.

    He arrived in New York on 16 April 1853. This man was born in about 1815, the same as our Johann Georg. This could be our man. Maybe our Johann Georg's name included Gottfried, which would be the same as the man on the passenger list. (He did name two sons Gottfried after all) We know our Johann came to the USA before 1856, This man did.

    Park Lawn Cemetery
