Germany to United States - Valentin Haas Family
WHY did the family decide to make this journey to a new land?
- One reason may be the fact that the two sons were of the age they could be forced into military service - this was a volatile time in German History. 
- Another may have to do with the baby Heinr (Heinrich ID1194) being born to the unwed daughter Anna Maria. 
- I have not found any evidence of religion being a big influence on this family so I don't believe that would have any bearing on their decision.
For whatever reason they made the choice to leave their homeland, what was familiar to them, their family, and go into a new adventure with untold experiences awaiting them.
In 1866 the Valentin Haas Family left their home at Hermannshöhle, between Oberhausen and Niederhausen, Germany on the Nahe River.  Their destination was Hamburg, Germany the departure point of the ship S/S Teutonia.  This was a trip of about 230 miles.
- How did they make the trip?  By river, by wagon?
- How did they finance the trip? 
On Saturday, 19 May 1866, the family boarded the Steamer Teutonia and left Hamburg for their long trip across the Atlantic Ocean to their new home.  The family had quarters on the Between-Decks section of the ship.  S3,
They arrived at New York City on Thursday, 14 June 1866.  Once off the ship their next destination was Castle Garden, the immigration center (Ellis Island did not open until 1892).  Their voyage had taken 26 days and they covered approximately 3800 miles.  Fortunately, the entire family made the journey in good shape.  S4, S5,
The experience at Castle Garden had to be a frightening one for the family.  They would have been probed and prodded with "Medical Exams", questions, physical tests - all to determine if they were healthy and eligible to be allowed entry into the country - It seems Valentin and his family made the grade.

Notes
N1:  On the Hamburg and New York Manifests, the baby, Heinr ID1194, looks to be the son of Clara ID1193, the 15 year old daughter of Valentin and Elisabetha.  S3, S4, S5,
Other research indicates that he is the son of Anna Maria ID1191 - S8,
- Clara and Heinr are listed last on the lists because of their ages - they ARE in proper order - BUT, why spell out "Haas" for Clara's last name if it was not an indicator that she and Heinr were somehow separate from the other children?
- Because of the birth record from Germany I have connected Heinr (Heinrich) to Anna Maria, BUT I am not 100% certain of the relationship
- I have not found anything on Heinrich until 1880 S10, and he is in Fulton County living with his aunt Barbara's Family and is listed as a farm laborer.
