Carl and Sophia Matzdorff
My family, my life, my story. This blog is my record of my search for ancestors here in the United States and their countries of origin. It is also a record of my life and that of my descendants. Genealogy is a long time passion of mine and I hope you will join me. My main surnames of interest are Grashoff, White, Chaffin, Wells, Matzdorff, Fogleman, Stinehart, Omvig. Past, present, and future all come together. Preserving the present is as important as discovering the past.

The Ship Holsatia
The Matzdorff family, including mother, Sophia Krabbe Matzdorff, and son Sigsmund Matzdorff came over on the Holsatia. This ship was part of the shippling line of Hamburg-American built by Caird & Co, Greenock, Scotland. It had an iron hull. According to the New York Passenger LIsts, they were "between deck passengers." Carl had previously emmigrated to the United States. Now Sophia, Carl (Charles), Augusta, Sigismund (Siegmund), Edward, and Annie Matzdorff were all on the Holsatia.
