Hi Christine,

Glad to know that this is your family and you have a new avenue of research to follow-up.

Yes, "ledig" is single and "verheiratet" is married.

Good luck and Happy New Year

I got my info on my great grandparents from hamburg.de today!!It is amazing that it is so EASY.

I only found out about my gr-grandparents plus a girl whom I suspect is a cousin.

I was a little surprised at when my ancestors disembarked on their trip,I thought they came in winter,not summer. how long of a trip would Hamburg to Halifax have been?

And I really need a German translator...I assume 'Landmann' means 'farmer', but what is 'Tagelohner',pray tell??

Thanks in advance!

Christine

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

About a week and a half to two weeks would be an average sailing time from Hamburg to Halifax.

I believe "Tagelohner" means labourer.
