Correspondence 07/01/01 passengers #50-63 Tholken
I am related to passengers #50-63. Heinrich and Ricka were my great
great great grandparents. Their daughter, Henrietta, who sailed earlier
than this family group, married John Koester. Their son, John Koester,
married Augusta Mann. Their daughter, Cornelia Madora, married Charles
Tucker, my grandparents. This family group settled near Beardstown,
Illinois, (Cass County).
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who belongs to this family line.
