Did anyone ever hear of a "German Immigrant Home" located on 1391 State Street
in Evansville (or Evansford) Illinois?
I found the name of the "home" on the Ellis Island Site. One of my ancestors
listed it as his destination on the ship's manifest.
I wonder if the records for that home may have survived somewhere. If that
home, and others, maintained records they sure could be a treasure.
I just learned that these "homes" acted as sponsors to German immigrants for a
time.
Just an idea.
