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. Klaerner. 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.

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.
