My grandfather, Gustav Fredinand Zabel, was born 1866 in Nicholasdorf, Bukowitz, Prussia.
He had a brother (who died young) named Reinholt. Gustav came to the U.S. at age 16.
Passenger 147 on the ship, Australia, bound for New York. Left Hamburg 11 October 1883.
Capt. Franck was skipper. There was only one other family (Schutz) from the same village
as Gustav. No evidence of any relationship. Siblings from another marriage are: Mathilda
Auguste (1874-1877), Auguste Mathilda (1877-), Ernestine Adeline (1878-), Hermann
Friedrich (1881-).
The LDS library films for this area of Poland are: #0245546, # 0245544.
Good luck. Nelda Hastings
