Stefan's Genealogy Page Anyone related to Otto Korth *1889?
Hello,
with this website I am trying to find some possible relatives in the U.S.A.
One of my ancestors, OTTO Bernhard Robert KORTH (*Dec. 19th. 1889) came to the US as a child in 1901.
He left Germany together with his parents on June 30th 1901 aboard the «Hamburg-Amerika-Linie» Ship SS PATRICIA.
His parents were EWALD KORTH (*Oct. 3rd 1860, Altstrelitz) and OTTILIE KORTH (*1862 as Ottilie Jaeger[?])
The SS Patricia reached New York City on July 13th 1901.
According to the documents i received from the NARA, they intended to move to Detroit, Mich.
One document, which is a passenger list from NYC port authorities, further tell me that the voyage
to NY has been paid by a brother in law of Ewald Korth. This man must have been called Carl Weiss (?)
and the adress given is 943 or 945 Alexandrine Ave, Detroit, Mich.
(All I could find in today's maps is Alexandrine Street. So I assume this is a mistake in the passenger list)
As i have a pedigree which can be followed back until 1747 and there is no Weiss family involved, there might be a
mistake in this passenger list. Or the maiden name of Ottilie Korth is maybe not Jaeger but Weiss. Who knows?
This is all I could find out in the last months.
So any help regarding the persons and especially the adress in Detroit will be very appreciated.
And if you are related to this family or you know someone who might be or has any information about the persons mentioned above, please e-mail me.
