And I have found what I think is the same Arnold Merk on a passenger list in 1878. The passenger list says: Place of Origin: Preußen . I know this means Prussia, but in 1878 would Prussia and Switzerland be the same place? Thanks for helping, Fleta **** I believe Switzerland is land locked. The port of departure could have been in Prussia. Dian
