Borstadt, Christian, Elizabeth, Anna Maria Angela, Caroline
The four Borstadts arrived in the USA in 1837, traveling from Fuerstenau, Hannover to New York and thence to Quincy, Illinois.Elizabeth arrived married to Gerhard Naber, but was, sadly, murdered on the canal voyage from New York to Quincy. It is believed that Gerhard Naber got off the ship at the location where Elizabeth was killed, and remained there, possibly in Kentucky, and possible with him was their daughter, Dina Naber.The remaining Borstadts settled in Quincy, Illinois.
We are seeking information on this family prior to their arrival in the United States, as well as any connections within the United States. We know the marriages of all of the sisters and brothers, and many of their descendants.
We have heard that the family may go back to Norway.
