I'm also in this family.. descended from Heinrich (Henry) Kimpel b: 1832 in Fischborn,Germany d: Defiance Co., OH. 1915. He immigrated to the USA in 1857 June, on the Orpheus, a ship from Bremerhaven to New York. His son Gottlieb who married Sadie FAVORITE and their daughter Gertrude KIMPEL is my line.
I'll be happy to share any information. Will be looking up the original ship records soon in Bremen, DE. Can anyone give me a clue as to where to look this up?Will this be kept in the City Hall in Bremen?
Thanks,
S. Studer
