Ship Meta
Bremerhaven, Germany to New York
3 November 1858
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, T. Taburg Master of the Bremen ship Meta do solemnly, sincerely and truly Swear that the
following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed by me to the Collector of the Customs of
the District of New York, is a full and perfect list of the passengers on board the said Meta at
Bremerhaven from which port has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age,
the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the ship occupied by each
during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is
intended by each to become an inhabitant, and that said truly set forth with the number of said
passengers who have died on said voyage and the names and ages of those who died. So help me
God (signed) 3rd day November, 1858 T. Taburg.

Transcriber's notes:
* Passenger 12 First letter of Surname is poorly written, it may
not be a K, but no other seems suitable.
* Passenger 30,38,39,163; Bufflo probably should be spelled Buffalo
* Passenger 59 Jacob Kubik shows up on the 1860 Census of Winneshiek

* Passengers 71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78. The Kerian family, listed on the Meta
as Kirian, were on their way to Iowa and first settled in
the Conover, Iowa area. Frank St. died in 1865. The two
oldest boys, Jacob and Casper Kerian died in the Civil War
in 1863. Marie took the children to Dakota Territory in
1880 along with several other families going north to
homestead, being forced from Iowa by dry weather and locusts.
Wenzel (James) married Ann Vayek and homesteaded on farms
north of Minto, North Dakota. Anna Kerian married Frank I
Votava in 1865 and also settled in the Veseleyville, Walsh
County, N.D. area. Frank was credited with scouting the
Dakota Territory and convincing the Czechs from Iowa that
this new land should be considered prime farmland. The
Kerians have many decendents. For further information contact

August G wrote in his memoir that after debarking from the
Meta, the family stayed in New York for six weeks. They then
traveled from New York by way of Albany on the Hudson River.
Continuing on to Chicago, IL and took the Berlington R.R. to
Bristol Station, IL and from there went to the Yorkville, IL
area, about five miles.
August G's first job was to work on the farm of John Barons.
The first year, at the age of sixteen, he was paid $7.00 a
month. The second year his pay was increased to $20.00 a
month, which says a lot for the ability of a youth. August G
also worked on George Nolte's farm. In 1859 August G and his
father, *117 August, bought 80 acres from Reynold Leifheit in
Kendall Co. IL and started their own farm. August G and his
wife, Amalie continued to farm and eventually raised twelve
children.
