Correspondence added 7/26/2006, passenger MOGH
My great-grandfather was passenger #274, H. Mogh (Heinrich Mogk).  After
arriving in New York on the Ship Hermann he then livved in Ellice Township,
Ontario, Canada where he died 3 February 1917.  He married Elizabeth Heinbuch
who emigrated from Germany in 1857 and died 4 June 1927.  They were the parents 
of:  Peter, Werner, Elizabeth, Sophia, Heinrich (Henry), John, August and Jacob.
Thanks again.  Peter R. M. Mogk
