Hello,
according to the castlegarden.org records my great-grandmothers brother and family emigrated to the US, arriving on 06 August 1889 on board the ship MUNCHEN (which I presume is supposed to be "München") from Bremen. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/München_(1889) suggests the ship went into service in 1889, but went to New York only from 1890.
The NY Times archive has scanned arrivals in their "Maritime Intelligence" section. I went through the records from 05/08 to 18/08 (http://snurl.com/1dfufv), without success.
Then there is an image archive on http://library.mysticseaport.org/ere/oindex.cfm with lots of pictures, and I found other ships that were used for emigration, but again not the "München".
I would appreciate any other suggestions where I might search.
Kind regards,
Gunde
Did you ever find the manifest for the MUNCHEN arriving on 06 Aug 1889? Naturalization files list that my relatives were on that ship too.
