Passengers 114 to 122 are my ancestors. Passengers 114-115, Simon and
Elisa Scheid are my great-great grandparents and passenger 122, Charles Scheid,
is my great-grandfather. The whole family arrived at New York and settled in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania where many of their descendants still live today.
We also know of additional descendants in 19 other states. A Scheid
family reunion is planned for July 14, 2007 in Lancaster. William Scheid
