| Birth* | 22 October 1848 | Friedrich Wilhelm Mühlstein (Immigrant 1853) was born on 22 October 1848 at Mühltroff, Germany, Date from church record. Birth date of 18 Oct 1848 is shown on death certificate which gives his birthplace as Pittsburg [sic] and his wife was the informant, father Chas C from Bavaria.1 |
| Immigration* | 1853 | He immigrated in 1853. Note that 1900 census says he immigrated in 1853. Since his father and siblings arrived in 1851, is this wrong? Another possibility is that since his mother is not on the passenger list, and we know she had another child a few months after her husband and older children came over, maybe she, the oldest son, and the youngest children came after her husband got settled with the older children. When did he naturalize? |
