Found him! Carl Daniel Fermazin

Took me 10 years to find the immigration records on Charles  Daniel Fermazin aka  Carl Firmazin

FINALLY: His mother Caroline Fermazin and sister Auguste were on board ship with him.




ARRIVED: 13 September 1876: Took them 14 days on the journey

Interesting tidbits:

Attended a class at OCCGS on Hamburg Passenger Lists.
                Went to Ancestry.com and found the entry that day. Since that time I have looked in the Germans to America volume series for the entry.  I found them in Volume 32: January1875-September 1876. In this volume it said they were from Germany going to USA. Not real helpful because it didn't say which state i.e. Illinois, Ohio etc.

When I went to SLC this year I was unable to find any Fermazin's in Popowo, Posen. If they were there they were only there long enough to register in the village before departure. Now I have to find registration lists for that area of Posen.

They were on the Pomerania but listed as TRIMAZIN

No wonder they were missed in previous looks at Germans to America.
