Schwarz (Schwartz) Family Emigration Record

Wilhelm and Matilda Schwartz (Schwarz) emigrated from Dzialy, Bromberg, Posen, Prussia on 25 March 1893 on the ship "Slavonia" out of Hamburg, Germany.


Dzialy was located right next to the Bromberg Canal, that was built in 1772 to connect Nakel and Bromberg.  Below is a map from 1857 showing Vorwerk Dzialy, as part of the Canal Colonies.  Wilhelm was supposedly born in Nakel, and Mathilde Frase was supposedly born in Bromberg.  They had left Dzialy in 1893, so this location fits the story well.
