Patrick Klein gave me copies of Ships lists that were reproduced from the
Holdings of the Texas State Archives. They are handwritten by D. H. Klaener. Patrick told me
that my lists weren't accurate and missing some people. I told him if he could give me something
that was more accurate and not copyrighted I would gladly merge it with the information that
I have already online. He gave me several lists and says he will furnish me with more.
I have put an "*" next to those ships that I have finished. It might be noted that not all the people
on these ships settled in Fredericksburg. I know I told him "Thank You" when I saw him in
Fredericksburg but I want to extend that "Thanks" again. Wanda

John Leyendecker sent me a copy of the Ship Riga. I want to extend my "Thanks" to him also.
The list was reproduced from the Holdings of the Texas State Archives. John has provided me with much information on the Leyendecker Family .
