We have been searching for the immigration information for the Wagner family for years. We thought perhaps they came in through French Speaking Canada, since the family was French, and came down to Ohio. We also thought that perhaps they came over one-by-one. I have searched several databases and simply couldn't find the information that I needed.
I ordered a microfilm from the Family History Library that I had the chance to view last week. I was able to find the immigration records for Barbara Wagner (Eicher) and her children. I was grateful for the new found information, but it still didn't give me their ship records.
I put a post out on the Ancestry message boards and someone replied with the ship record. I'm truly grateful for their help even though they are not related to the family.
Information from the French record: (Note- I do not speak French. I tried to write down everything as I saw it. I know the French words are not completely correct. I will update as I translate this). I also do not know what the last column with numbers is for.
Mois de Mars 1864 (March 1864)
Emigration Liste des emigranets Français
Noms et prinoms, Dates des passeport, sexe, age, profession, communi d' origine, desination, observation firise der Transport
The "Dates des passeport" are not written individually but for the whole family as follows: 8 March Passport Bern (some numbers I can't make out) Mullhouse (a city in Eastern France) 96=1876.
M Vagner Barbe -- passport see above note -- F -- 50 -- cultivateur (Farmer) -- Chserenevy (?) -- New York -- 240
M Vagner Joseph --see passport note -- M --19--Mulhouse -- New York --240
M Vagner Jean [John] --passport note -- M--17--Mulhouse--New York--240
M Vagner Christe -- passport note --M--14--Mulhouse--New York--240
M Vagner Cathierine--passport note--F--7--Mulhouse--New York--120
Passenger Lists:
This is tricky. I'm positive that this is the right passenger list, but some information is off. This is not unusual with various languages and accents.
Arrival in New York--13 April 1864 from Liverpool, England. Made a stop in Queenstown, Ireland.
Names, age, sex, occupation, country from, country to
Barbara Wagner, 30, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Jos [Joseph] Wagner, 19, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Johanna [Johann/Jean/John depending on country] Wagner, 17, F, Spins, Germany, US America
Christina [Christian] Wagner, 14, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Catharina Wagner, 7, F, Child, Germany, US America
How it should have read:
Barbara Wagner, 50, F, Laborer, Germany, US America
Jos [Joseph] Wagner, 19, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Johann Wagner, 17, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Christina [Christian] Wagner, 14, M, Laborer, Germany, US America
Catharina Wagner, 7, F, Child, Germany, US America
See? It's super close. Now to find their travel from France to likely Hamburg and then on to Liverpool.
