She is Christina Barth, age 32, arrived 13 Mar 1882 at Castle Garden on the Oder. Sailed from Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England. I am asking for assistance in reading the additional information listed to the right of her son Christian Barth age 9 months. He is line 15 and passenger number 399. Verbal family information is that Christian died on the voyage to American and was buried at sea. I've enlarged the page and still can't make out what it says. I think the notation reads "died of _________ of the brain" and then "W of Mar_________" and below that " _ _ 30__ ____". Am guessing the "W of Mar..." may refer to the approximate location where he was buried at sea. Q1 - Would someone kindly take a look at the passenger list and give me their interpretation? Q2 - An additional question concerning this child: the Castle Garden web site indicates the family arriving and Christian is listed. If someone died on the voyage and was buried at sea, would the records still show the person arriving in America so everyone on the passenger list was accounted for on arrival? Q3 - And my third question: if anyone is researching Barth and has information to share on this family please contact me. They settled in Bureau and Lee counties of Illinois. Thanks to all who generously use their time and resources to assist others. This list is great! Vicki in Illinois
