Hello.
My greatgrandfather, Friedrich Marx, imigrated in 1868 with his family from Hamburg to Rio de Janeiro aboard the bark Leif.
I would like to know more about this bark, if someone has further informations such as photographs or list of passengers, or others.
Thank you very much and have a Easter season.
Mirx
