We "knew" that "their" daughter had been born in Germany. However, the passenger list has "Christoph. Oehler," "Christ. Schlip," and "Carol. Schlip." That is the order in which they were recorded, strongly suggesting they were sitting together. Our family has always assumed they were Christoper, Christiana and Caroline Aler/Oehler when they arrived in the US. Have not been able to find German records for any of them. Caroline's age is also in dispute: the pax list says she was 6 months old, suggesting she was born about Dec 1853 (they arrived here May 1854). However, Caroline's tombstone says her birthdate was 04 May 1853.Barbara Moorhousenoreply@blogger.com
