Notes for Gertrude Ostlender
A few years after Christian's death in 1879, Gertrude and her three youngest boys, Aloys, Johann and Emil emigrated to America to join the older children.

She came to this country with her sons but only because they insisted. She never learned to speak english because she didn't want to be here.

I found that Engelbert arrived in New York 23 Aug 1878 via the ship Baltic. I found where Aloys, Emil, John and their mother Gertrud arrived in New York 14 Dec 1881 via the ship Pieter de Coninck. John L Gier says that Lambert his wife and infant daughter and Henry arrived in the USA May 1879.
