Brickwalls
Looking for the ship Ludwig Grimm and children came in on.  According to his passport, which was good for six months,
he would have traveled between  7 May 1849 and 7 November 1849.

Looking for where Ludwig lived after Baltimore, where he died, and his wife in Germany and any other marriages in the United States.

I would like to know what happened to Catherine and Elizabeth after they arrived in the United States.

Looking for the family of Marie Suter.
