My great, great uncle is aboard -- Moritz Busam. This was his second crossing.
He was born in Nussbach, Baden, Germany and he immigrated and settled in Frankfort,
Franklin County, Kentucky where he married Freda Zink and became very successful
as a baker and entrepreneur. Moritz was my great grandfather's brother and my
paternal grandmother's uncle. Beverly Mack Zanon
