Passenger Manifest from the S/S Hammonia - 27 Feb 1869
Passenger Manifest from the S/S Hammonia - 27 Feb 1869
Passenger #186 is Nicolaus Hammes, a 19-year-old farmer from Germany. There is no other Hammes on this passenger manifest. This was probably a first or exploratory trip to America by Nicolaus with him subsequently returning to Germany and then bringing the rest of the family to America in November of 1872.

Also on this ship were Jacob Sondag and sister Marie, along with their mother, Anna Maria Theobald, step-father Mathias Wehr, and half-siblings, Margaretha, Johann, & Magdalene Wehr. (191-197)

Berg Family History
Berg Family History
This history of the Berg family written by Michael Kohnen details the immigration of the Bergs to Keokuk County from Germany along with the Horras, Peiffer, Blaise and Hammes families in 1847. I believe this Hammes family was most likely an earlier generation of the Michael Hammes Jr. family who came to Clear Creek in 1872 because they came from the same area of Germany. Fascinating reading.
