My Bruck relatives immigrated to Philadelphia, PA in August, 1890 from London via Liverpool. It was Peter Bruck, father, Emily Ann Hart Bruck, mother, Children: Katherine, Frederick, Arthur, Lavina, George, Charles, Emily. I can't find any information on the passenger list for this ship. Does anyone have any ideas. My information is based on the memory of one of the grandchildren of Peter.

Thank you. Cheryl.

This is the record of the family minus Peter leaving the UK. The original document is partially destroyed so the last names of all the family has been wiped out. But the whole family is there, minus Peter.

Name: Emily
Gender: Female
Departure Date: 13 Aug 1890
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Destination Port: Philadelphia, USA

That's the family....everything matches....thank you so very much for finding this information. Not sure where Peter was...but that's his wife and children. Everything matches with the notes I have from a distant cousin. Your time and effort in looking this up is sincerely appreciated! cheryl

The record from the distant cousin (peter's grandchild), states he was born March 9, 1846, however, I can't find any record on Family Search or Ancestry.com that has a Peter Bruck (Brueck) born in 1846 that makes sense--meaning, thrying to figure out where they got these children's names--as they always name their children after their parents, brothers or sisters. I found one born in 1845. in Prussia. I know there are different birth and christening dates....so I am concluding that maybe this Peter, born in Aug 1845 may be the correct Peter. If this is the correct Peter, then his father died in 1861 and his sister, Catharina, died in 1862 along with another sister, Elisabeth (they died a month apart). So I think that Peter left Prussia around that time and immigrated to England with a relative, as I can find no record of his father, mother, Mariae Magdelanae or his remaining siblings (Maria and Anna Maria) in any of the England census information for 1861, 1871, 1881. Thanks again for finding all this information for me. We were never able to confirm the British Prince information....and you figured it out....they had Emily listed as a "Brown". Cheryl

I used to have a subscription. I don't anymore. Did you find the passenger list on ancestry.com or on this site? Just wondering, as I can't figure out how to find passenger lists on this site, except those who traveled before 1875. I am going to go to our library, as they have some version of ancestry.com that I can use there, I think.
