Moving to America

GEGENHEIMERS TO AMERICA

January 1850 to June 1884

Fred Gahimer went through the 51 volume set, Germans to America, by Ira A. Glazier & P. Wm. Filby, and extracted all the data on GEGENHEIMERS, including a few that had suspect spelling and were probably GEGENHEIMERS. The latter ones will have their surname spelled out. Also, each volume covers a time period, and does not give the date of immigration of individual people. The listed data is, from left to right: Time Period, Given Name, Surname [if spelled differently], Age, Sex, Occupation, and From--To.

Enjoy.
