Our ancestors, Karl August Schleif and Hennriette Öhlke arrived at New York City on 4 Oct 1875. They arrived from Bremen, Germany and their destination was Minnesota.
They came on the S.S. Mosel, and the ship's passenger lists them as follows:
Name Age
Karl Schleif 48 farmer (this age is incorrect, it should be 39)
Hennrietta Schleif 39 should be 38
Justine Schleif 65 should be about 70 (this is Karl's mother)
Johann Schleif 16
Auguste Schleif 9
(illegible) 9
Hanne Schleif 7
Gustav Schleif 5 should be about 7
Karl Schleif 4
Ottilie Schleif 3
August Schleif 6 mos.
The ages are not quite accurate and vary from later census records, however, the names are all correct, so we are sure this is them.
Our Martineau family pioneered in Dayton, Minnesota in 1857. They were French Canadians that emigrated from Quebec. Later they married their Prussian immigrant neighbors: Ed Martineau in 1901 to Mathilda Schwartz; William Martineau in 1921 to Amanda Schleif, daugther of Frederick Schleif and Amelia Krause. These German families had immigrated to Minnesota from the Kingdom of Prussia, from West Prussia, Posen and Pomerania.
The following allied families are in our direct line Martineau ancestry: Gravel, Blanchet, Morin, Schwartz, Frase, Potratz, Schleif, Boek, Behnke, Schauer, Oelke, Krause, Luebke, Abraham, Faerber, Bahr, Rambow
