#4- Ernestina Wodtke Arrives USA


Ernestina Wodtke, the spelling of her surname is shown in various ways, arrived in the USA on board the ship Circassia departing Glasgow,Scotland and Moville, Ireland, arriving in New York on 22 May 1884. The place of origin is given as Germany/German as is her ethnicity/race/nathionality. She is traveling with her one year old daughter, Heinrietta Wadtke. Ernestina is listed as "Wife" on the manifest, so it begs the question as to whether the surname is her married name or maiden name?
