     They made the trip together with at least one other family from Ladbergen: Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old). The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen, Prussia towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed.
