Henry originally immigrated to the United States in 1872 (ship and port unknown). In 1878, Henry returned to Germany for a visit and returned to the United States on the ship "Berlin" that sailed 22 May 1878 from Bremen, Germany and arrived at port at Baltimore, Maryland on 10 Jun 1878. Henry was traveling with his brother Johann and sister Marie and her son Diedrich and his future wife Anna Katherine Wieting. Henry and Anna Katharine were married in Hooper 17 days after arriving in America. [Note: Marie is listed as "wife" - could she be the wife of Joh. Egbers? or was that done in error?]
