Bremen, Le Havre, Queenstown, New Orleans and New York. Read Delia’s, Peter’s and Thomas’s records alongside the older, separately qualified passenger leads.
Departure and arrival ports: each voyage has its own evidence
Morrison / Morrisroe arrivals. Three relatives’ own records now bring this port into focus: Delia on Teutonic, April 6, 1899; Peter, recorded as Peter Beirne, on Carmania, November 11, 1906; and Thomas on Lusitania, June 15, 1912. Delia’s account is in her later petition; Peter’s and Thomas’s arrivals also have linked passenger records. None establishes Michael Morrison’s crossing.
Older passenger lead:
Roling / Bickel–Budde researchPassenger-list lead — family identity not proved. Anna Budde · Ottilie · arrival 11 June 1860. Possible family match; identity still unproved. The transcription lists passenger 44, age 21 years 3 months, from Oldenburg. Original manifest pixels have not been reviewed; age and immigration-year conflicts remain. Read the published passenger transcription. Family comparison and unresolved evidence. Back to maps
Roling / Bickel–Budde research
Passenger-list lead — family identity not proved. Joh. Heinr. Bickel · Agnes · arrival 27 November 1848. Possible family match; identity still unproved. The transcription lists passenger 10, age 20, associated with Langula. The original full entry is not independently legible in the held screenshot; age conflicts remain. Read the published passenger transcription. Family comparison and unresolved evidence. Back to maps
Walter family · Bange branch. A New Orleans passenger group lists Franz and Cecilia Walter with eight children, including Rosa. This strongly matches the family described in Cecilia’s 1895 obituary. The handwritten vessel name in the continuous manifest’s header is now read as John Curtis (abbreviated “Jno Curtis”), with M. Hogan as master; it records arrival from Havre on January 15, 1854. The Daily True Delta, January 17, 1854, page 3 (select page 3) independently names John Curtis from Havre under Hogan, and its passenger summary reports 292 in steerage. Reading correction, October 31, 2026: We previously misread the header as “St. Nicholas.” That was an error in our reading, not an unresolved conflict between the records. Read the original sequence: image 367 header; image 372, passengers 202–211. Rosa’s listed age of 10 remains a discrepancy.
Roling / Bickel–Budde research
Passenger-list lead — family identity not proved. Anna Budde · Ottilie · arrival New York 11 June 1860. Joh. Heinr. Bickel · Agnes · New Orleans 27 Nov 1848. Departure dates unknown; both identities unproved. Both published transcriptions name Bremen. This is a city-level locator, not an exact departure wharf. No departure day is supplied here.

Bange / Walter research
The John Curtis manifest and contemporary newspaper name Havre as the departure port for the voyage arriving at New Orleans on 15 January 1854. Franz and Cecilia Walter with eight children form a strong candidate family group; the identification remains qualified, including Rosa’s listed-age discrepancy. No departure date is established here.
The map connects the recorded ports schematically, not along a reconstructed ship track. The city-level Le Havre point is approximately 49.49346° N, 0.10785° E, not an exact wharf. Back to the world map and journeys.
31. Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland — departure port
Morrison / Morrisroe records. Delia’s own 1928 petition reports departure in March 1899 aboard Teutonic, with the day left blank, and arrival at New York on April 6. Thomas’s two-page Lusitania manifest records departure on June 9, 1912 and New York arrival on June 15; his later petition agrees on the ship and arrival date.
