=========================================================
AugustKickbusch apparently liked the area so much, that he went back to Germany and brought 702 people back to Marathon County.
The following information was given to me by Darlene Winter, who transcribed the manifest of the ship America.Her e-mail is: [email protected]. The manifest was extremely difficult to read, and Darlene faithfully transcribed it as it was written.She has sent me a copy of this manifest.
I was given a copy of the information from the Germans to America book, Volume 19, by another volunteer, Amy Ryan-Conway.The names are written phonetically in it, but a lot of the names were simply not entered in this book.I have entered the names as they are listed in this volume, and some additional information too.
I want to thank these people for the information on the following page.First is a forward written by Darlene.
Altho A. Kickbusch's obit says it landed on June 12, 1867, the Germans to America book indicates that it docked June 14, 1867.
===================================================================================
August Kickbush's obituary says that he arrived aboard the North German Lloyd Line Steamer, the America, in New York on June l2, l867, with 702 people. In the National Archives' microfilm the only American steamer that arrives that day is from Cuba. The manifest for the America was recorded on June l4, l867. The ship sailed from Bremen, Germany. There are over 750 people on the ship. It is uncertain as to which exact ones followed August to Wisconsin.
The National Archives' microfilm indicates that the original manifest was in poor condition. The ink is very light.
The recorder signals to us from the very beginning that he will be recording the names of the passengers phonetically. He writes in a mixture of Latin and German script. There was particular difficulty in deciphering his Ls, Js and Ss and Ws, Hs and Ks. He is not consistent. The recorder mixes upper and lower case and uses many abbreviations. The recorder only wrote in a column when something in that column changed. The reader should look for the phonic equivalent of their name. Anything in parenthesis is the transcriber's best guess.
The Dictionary of German Names by Hans Bahlow, the German Unabridged Dictionary by Harper Collins and the Websters' Dictionary were all consulted. Some names were not found in any of these books.
August Kickbusch's obituary says that the party proceeded to Wisconsin; went by rail to Oshkosh; and then by boat to Gill's Landing. The women and children were then placed in wagons while the men walked to Wausau. The party reached Wausau on June 29, l867.
August was from Colberg, Pomerania (Pommern), Prussia. An l898 article by Kate Everest Levi Ph.D. indicates that the people on this ship were from Regenwalde and Greifenberg, Pomerania.
This work was transcribed in honor of my great grandfather, Wilhelm Huebner, who was found to be working in a sawmill in Wausau (probably August Kickbusch's sawmill) in l870.
===================================================================================
This was sent via e-mail to me by a Marathon County native - she now lives in Southern California.
"The following information comes from the HISTORY OF NORTHERN
WISCONSIN it states." in March 1867, Mr Kickbusch went to Europe and
when he returned, June 20, 1867, he brought with him on the "America"
of the North German Lloyd line of steamers, a large number of German
emigrants, everyone whom he located in Wisconsin. He has been emigrant
agent ever since he came here, and has kept emigrants for weeks without
charge; is now agent for the INMAN,ANCHOR, WHITE STAR AND NORTH GERMAN
LLOYD lines.
I think this points to the fact that all of the people
brought by Kickbusch did not come on just this one ship.
A funny aside: When our kids were in school here in So. Calif. in the
1970's, their history book told of the Kickbusch boats that helped
settle Wisconsin.

==================================================================================
Also given to me by Darlene Winter were some pages from "Early German Immigrants in Wisconsin" by Kate Everest Levi, PhD., and Albert Bernhardt Faust.- written in 1898.
"In 1867, a large body of Pomeranians arrived. August Kickbush, a store-keeper in Wausau, had that year returned to Pomerania, collected a large number of persons from Greifenberg and Regenwald, -- peasants and day-laborors, -- and conducted them to Wisconsin. He states that his party consisted on 702 persons, including the children, but only a portion settled in Marathon county. By 1867, there were 700 German voters in the county, and 1,000 German families."
=================================================================================
The following table is a combination of the information from the manifest and the book Germans to America-
Again, because of the difficulty in deciphering the names, if anyone has any definite knowledge of the correct name, please let me know, and I will correct it.Thanks - Shelley Green
