Thank you so much for all the info...Does the 1860 census show John & Margaret Reitz age. I never new his name but ran accross a Family Group record from Starkenburg, Hessen for a marriage 23 May 1853 on Johann George Reitz and Margarethe Elisabethe Reitz (no maiden name listed) also have another 1880 census which show Philip Reitz with wife Catherine and children...Says father and mother of both Philip and Catherine were from Coblentz. I found in Monticello co. there is an Albert Lehman, Physician and two children, brother to F.G. Also the 1890 census shows George F. Lehman (I believe he changed first name for middle because it probably sounded more american) as comming to America in 1857. Elizabeth shows 1870....However have one possibility
Passengers name: Elisab Reitz
Age 25
Last residence: Kornstein, Germany
Date of Arrival: May 22, 1865
Ship's name Hansa
Manifest ID Number: 00010450
Port of Embarkation: Gibraltar
Mode of Travel: SteerageSince she was born Apr 1840 (1900 census) the age would be correct. I'll look over all the info. I appreciate it very much...thanks again...Brian
