These are my father and several brothers.  As a matter of interest, Thorwald was a worker on ship; Jens was in U.S.A. before in 1912 in Corry, Pa..Wilhelm was one who was murdered in Kentucky in 1919 in Army barracks by his buddy. Thorvald settled in Michigan; Ludvig lived in Des Moines, Iowa.  Will getback to Ellis and try to forward Marie`s ship from there.
