Ships Lists

Ships Which Brought Our Ancestors to America is an ongoing project of Betty Miley Ashley. Information is from various sources including: ship passenger lists, family records, petitions for naturalization, and censuses. These are records for Lower Jeruslan people and their relatives. If you have information to add or corrections to make, please contact Betty.

 

Notes from Betty Ashley in 1998:

I have gone through the records collected over the years since I first began corresponding with those of you who were born in the Wiesenmuller area and those of you who are descendants of the immigrants.  The earliest record found in my files was from a descendant of Johannes BEHRIG who was 49 years old in December 1876 when he and his family traveled on the SS City of Richmond to New York City, NY.  Just a few months before that the first large group of Volga Deutsch from Kratzke, Saratov, Russia, had journeyed to Russell, Kansas.  Among that froup were many relatives of our Wiesenmuellern and their neighboring villages.

The last family I have records of (who arrived in America before most migration closed down completely from Russia) was the family of Adam PINNECKER which arrived in 1926 aboard the SS Albert Ballin.

If my notes are correct, Wiesenmuellerin were aboard the SS Haverford on three different voyages.  The SS Arabic II brought at least 2 different groups of our people.  The other ship named on our records in more or less chronological order were the STEAMSHIPS (Sses):

Saale, Rugia, Elizabeth Rickmers, Southwark, Missler, Phoenicia, Letonia, Augusta Victoria, Celtic, Cretic, Noordam, Frankfurt, Sicily, Ivernia, Canada, Merion, Caronia, friesland, Lusitania, Franconia, California, Eisenack, Main, Montclair, Thuringia.

Webmaster Note:  Since 1998 Betty has added much more information, as seen below.
