Hello. What information is the basis for stating above that Ferdinand Kiesewetter died in Austin county, Texas prior to 1870?
Thank you.
It’s not a statement, it was an assumption 8 years ago. 😉
Dorothea and her son immigrated in December 1869 alone. So it can be assumed her husband was left behind or died in Germany or overseas.
1. Bremen boat records were destroyed. Could Ferdinand have immigrated with wife Dorothea and son and died on the way and thus not signed in New Orleans?
2. Could have died in Prussian military….where can you search those records?
Thanks
Any suggestions on how to find out about Ferdinand’s death?
