In 1886, George Fredrich Hellbusch, b 31 DEC 1871 in Wiefelstede, Oldenburg Germany (Son of Heinrich, b 21 DEC 1829 came to America. There is a story that he traveled with his cousin, Eilert. However, the passenger lists do not verify that information. According to the census of 1900 George was listed as arriving in 1885, however, the 1920 census shows the year as 1886. We do know that George Fredrich Hellbusch came before his father immigrated to America which was in 1887. It is believed that George came because of Johann Heinrich's urging. |
