My family tree traces back to a group of Tiedes who arrived in New York City, USA, on May 24th, 1879 to be processed at Castle Garden.  They crossed the Atlantic ocean in the boat pictured here, the North German Lloyd S.S. Neckar. (This is a painting by Antonio Jacobsen dated 1879, btw, so it would be a good likeness. Notice the one tiny smokestack in case the wind was no help!)

My Great-Great Grandfather Daniel was a boy of 15 at the time, traveling with his family, including my Great-Great-Great Grandfather Gottlieb.

Here is a link to the New York times article mentioning the arrival (but not mentioning any specific passengers).

PS: The Neckar on which the Tiedes came was the first with that name, built in 1874 and scrapped in 1896, as the North German Lloyd company replaced it with a new boat of the same name that was three times the size.
