- It is highly likely this is our Martin and Veronica Nicolai family. The 1900 Census indicates our Martin was born in November 1850 and Veronica in December 1849 and that they arrived in 1882. At the time of the 23 June 1883 arrival, he would have been 32 and she would have been 33. This is one year older than on the ship manifest, but both sources indicate she was one year older. All passengers on the ship were reviewed and none matched other known family or friends. No other Nicolais were found in the index from 1881-1890. Thus this record is thought to be our Nicolai family, especially because of the match of the given names Martin and Veronica couple with an origin in Prussia.
