Germany, leaving on 16th

Castle Garden website, the name is shown as “Marton Bachany” and “Fried
Schmedeck,” but a viewing of the actual Hamburg roster shows Martin Bachanz and
Fried. Schmileck, from “DREHNAU,
PRUSSIA”

In the 1910
census, the neighbors listed next door may very well be Wendisch, They are:
William GRAEF, 44. Elzabeth 39, Henry
21, daughter Cara? 17 and Victor 4.
In the 1920
neighbors Adolph NEUMANN, 39, Fireman
and wife Caroline 40, daughter Ruth 2 mo., again look suspiciously Wendisch.
This
Friederich SCHIMLICK has not yet been
found in the
US, though the similarly
spelled, SCHMELLICK’s immigrated to FORT
MADISON in 1868 and then moved onto
STATE CENTER,
IA.
This family is believed to be directly
related to the HALBASCH family that
immigrated to FORT
MADISON, IOWA in 1873 and who was also from
DREHNOW.
