SEEKING B.F. POLLARD
6/21/98
B.F. POLLARD was traveling to New Orleans from either New York or California.The STEAMSHIP TEXAS was enroute to the SAN JUANS/HAVANA (CUBA) and then returned to NEW ORLEANS.
B.F. POLLARD, as I noted in the previous post, may be my G-G-Grandfather.Again, he is listed on the passanger list as being:(1) a LAWYER, and (2) a citizen of GERMANY who apparently was in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen (?).

POLLARD, as I noted in the previous post, may be my G-G-Grandfather.Again, he is listed on the passanger list as being:(1) a LAWYER, and (2) a citizen of GERMANY who apparently was in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen (?).Further, if he is my G-G-Grandfather, family "oral tradition" maintains that he came from the PYRENEES MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN FRANCE.Talk about a BRICK WALL, POLLARD isn't a GERMAN name and as far as I can tell it isn't FRENCH either .But for what it's worth, family "oral tradition" tells that he did speak French, German, and English.In fact, German was the dominant language...FYI my G-Grandfather grew-up speaking GERMAN.

If you cross-reference or find contradictory data (or anything!) please e-mail me.Thanks in advance!!!
