German immigrant to America, name of Leben
« on: Thursday 15 October 09 00:08 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Please bare with me, I have never used this sight before and I am unsure if I am doing it correctly!  I was hoping to find out if anyone has access to german passenger information.  I have a Gustave Leben arriving in America around 1885.  I am unsure if this is a correct date, as my only link is what was stated in the 1900 state census.  He was born in 1865, in Philippsburg Karlsruhe Baden Wuerttemberg Germany.  I have his name as Gustave, Gustav, and I think August and Auguste.  Not 100% that they are the same person, but so far I am going with that idea.  I have his fathers name as Herman Leben, and his mothers name as Wilhelmina Tusca.  Again, I am unsure of any of this information, and was hoping somebody could pass on some ideas, or info that will get me moving.  Maybe his passenger information would have parents names, or people he traveled with, or something!
Thank you so much for your help and time!
Shawna
