Johann Heinrich Scheidt I find mentioned on the ships list for Katie Scheidt the wife of John Scheidt my GF. It looks like he could be working for the railroad in Russell KS. not sure? I also find him in the 1930 census with his wife and son Alex
2. SS Merion leaving Liverpool, England on 23 Oct. 1912.....arriving in Philadelphia 4 Nov. 1912
M-6 Scheidt Johann 34 m m shoemaker Russia German
Russell, KSSaratov, Russia
This is the ship my Grandfather, Johann, came on;
however, have not been able to locate the ship that my father and Grandmother came on.
3. He was very sure he came through New York but there is no listing of them at the Ellis Island site.
My father always said he got here in 1912 but I fine it hard to believe they could have got here in such a short time after his father, if he got to the U.S. in Nov 1912.
4. Nov 2005: from John E Scheidt: "I have found the ship my grandmother , uncles and aunts came on. The ship arrived in Boston on December 9, 1912 It's name was the SS Saxonia. I am
sending them to you . my dad's brother were Dave, John, Henry and Harry. His
sisters were Della, Mollie and Irene."
