Hello Mr. Martin,

Thank you for your reply to my inquiry.

Both William (Wilhelm) and August landed in Galveston on the ship Gessner on/around October 29, 1860. From all of the facts I gathered thus far, it appears that they are related.....i.e. brothers or cousins.

In your expert opinion, do you think William and August are, in fact, related? If so, how?

Btw: William is my great-great grandfather.

Regards,

Greg
