Migration · 1874
From Friedeberg to Oshkosh
Passenger lists on both sides of the Atlantic reconnect Friedrich Wilhelm Marx, Emilie Marx, and nine-year-old Henrietta Schultz across a journey that began in Brandenburg and ended in Wisconsin.

What the evidence supports
The wording is deliberately precise. A confidence label applies to each claim—not to the person as a whole.
Friedrich Marx, Emilie Marx, and Henriette Schult left Hamburg on 2 October 1874 aboard the Hansa feeder route to Hull.
The original Hamburg passenger-list image and archive citation establish the date, route, and party.
The same party crossed the Atlantic aboard the Nova Scotian and arrived at Quebec on 22 October 1874 with Oshkosh as their destination.
Library and Archives Canada voyage metadata and the manifest place all three people together.
The fuller German name Karoline Emilie Kuckuck likely belongs to the woman later recorded as Amelia or Emilie Kukuk Marx.
The linkage is strong, but the original Brandenburg emigration card still needs inspection.
Johann David Kukuk and Wilhelmina Rechow were Amelia's parents.
The 1852 passenger list, 1855 baptism, and 1856 Iowa census identify a different daughter Emilie and are incompatible with Amelia's supported chronology.
