Ferdinand Jurgen Friedrich ARMBRUST

    F J F A was my g'-g'-grandfather. This recent GOOGLE SEARCH revealed this latest information (see below) but when I click the link it comes up ERROR & "That's all we know". Can anyone offer any assistance ? I'll be very grateful indeed. Thank you in advance :)

    Thank you :)


    PS


    I don't need technical help, I mean can anyone help find what's in the book(s).


    Thanks :)

    Hello and thank you :) Yes Kara, I would love to have a translation of the info on that page. From what I can tell it looks like just No. 4 & 5 apply to my g'g'grandfather and (I think) his ship but more if you think I should have it. I'd also like to have the name and etc. of the book it is listed in.


    Thank you ver much. It's exciting to find things from the past :)


    Sincerely,


    Bob A.

    hello Bob,


    the title of the book is "Schleswig-Holsteinische Anzeigen für das Jahr 1861"


    the text on page 123


    Nr 4. is about a man named Ludwig Friedrich Speeßen, I think this is not of interest for you


    Nr 5.


    Zweite Bekanntmachung.

    Hello Kara,


    Thank you for posting that page. I ran it through a Google translation which I know is not the best but it looks like my g'g'grandfather came upon a ship adrift and brought it back into port from what I can determine. This is the crude Google translation:




    Second notice.


    It has been shown the part Beikommender dieselbst, that the captain D.Thiessen, the local leader ship "John", on 2 April d.J. determined in the open sea, about 20 mileswest of Heligoland, one of the team completely abandoned ship, which is soon as onewith (Oelsachen?) loaded Hamburg Galeo? ewer "Ferdinand", Captain Jürgen Friedrich Ferdinand Armbrust, from Hamburg to Bruges, have reported, found adrift,salvaged and brought to the same local port.

    I know that FJFA owned and captained a the schooner Ferdinand by Christie's Ship Register 1858. I welcome any and all comments on this thread of posts by anyone who may have anything / any thoughts to offer. Also any further / additional translations of the info contained will be most appreciated.Thank you so much, one and all :danke: Bob A.

    Hello Kara,


    I'm confused. I'm sure my g'g'grandfather's ship was the Ferdinand. Am I reading the translated page incorrectly ? It seems the Ferdinand was the ship that brought the abandoned ship back.


    Thanks,
    :)

    The ship "Johannes" ("John" in your translation) with Capitain Theissen brought the abandoned "Ferdinand" back. Capitain Armbrust is mentioned as the owner the ship "Ferdinand", but not onboard, in fact nobody seems to have been onboard of this ship.
    Do you have further track of your ancestor, any hint what became of him?

    Hello M.I.F.E.


    The only info I have about my ancestor F J F A is that he owned and captained the schooner Ferdinand ( Christie's Ship Register 1858 ) and that he "died at sea" 1863. I'd like to know anything more.



    Thanks,


    Bob A.
