Naturalization Record

[Jomot]

Im not sure if or where this fits in, but there is a passenger list in 1874 for the ship Mosel, sailing to New York from Bremen, which includes these passengers:

Anna Henning 40
Anny Henning 8
Josephine Henning 7

There are columns for 'country to which they severally belong' and 'country to which they intend to become inhabitants', and for each the answer is United States of America.

Ok thanks Jomot.
What are the odds of 2 Charles Henning born Norway around 1833 having boarding houses close to each other in 1870?

One of the boarding houses on the 1870 has a list of boarders, the other not, if I am reading them correctly, so what if Charles and family lived at one address while running the boarding house at the other. Not sure of the mechanics of the US census and how it is compiled, but could this explain, if they are the same family how they can appear twice on the same census?

Good question. It's something that I have wondered about.
And that an Ann Graf is living with them makes it a little more interesting.

Looking at the census dates, the one with Ann Graff was taken 26 Jul 1870, but the other was apparently taken in January 1871 - you need to scroll about a bit to confirm the date, but here's one page that shows it:

Well that explains that then. Thanks Jomot.

So these 2 families I suppose are the same family but recorded twice. So I wonder who Emma is then.

And Caroline?

[jamcat95]

and off course Caroline but I was mainly referring to Emma as I was wondering if she was his wife or some other relation.
