[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Louis Ludwig Lichtenstein - lookup on Castle Garden

[mw2657 at cs.com]

Thanks Joe and all, I keep forgetting to look at Castle Garden in addition to Ellis Island. You are all so helpful, and this was a great reminder for me!

I have a question, now, as I just went to the Castle Garden site to look for my ancestor, Louis Ludwig Lichtenstein, and found a Ludwig Lichtenstein, 22 y.o., departed Bremen, origin Pesth, arrived 15 Sept 1858. However, I have his son's birth in 1856 in Pottstown PA. The entry following Ludwig is for Eva (wife).

My questions are:
1) Are all arrivals noted at Castle Garden for this period? Were there other major ports of entry? I have checked Ellis Island, and find no mention of this family, and know that Ellis Island did not come about for many years after 1850.

2) I have information that Louis's wife was Anna Christina Nagel, and went by "Christie", not Eva. So is this "Eva" listed as wife, meant to indicate Louis's wife? They did not arrive at the same time, and there is no one else showing an arrival date the same as Eva in 1859 in the listing.

3) Ludwig's entry shows origin as Pesth, and when I google that, I get a listing and map for Pesth,  aka Budapest(h), Hungary. My information indicates Louis Ludwig came from Bavaria (city not known yet). Would Pesth/Budapest have been part of Bavaria at one time?

4) Eva's origin is shown as Sebau, and google offers an alternative lookup as Sebau near Slovakia. My information shows Anna Christina Nagel was from Hanover. Would Sebau have been part of Germany, or the Hanover area at any time?

5) Are there other German towns or names similar to Sebau or Pesth that I should be looking in? My Great-great grandfather used to tell my father stories about being distantly related to the King of Lichtenstein, but these don't seem to be the right locations to be researching if that is true. 

6) Since I know Louis Ludwig's son was born in PA in 1856, neither of these arrivals would support that being a good birth year/place. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you may provide. I have been at a dead-end on this line for @ 10 years.

Regards, 

Maureen Murray Webb

Hello,
hanks for all your answers - I'm happy, that a lot of people can and 
ant help me.
I think, it could be, that the families with the name Kissro and Kisser 
as in connections, or not?
Johann Kissro should be born in Sendowo, but I didn't find this place. 
'm searching u.a. at kartenmeister.com.
wo of his sons should bei going to America and Kanada.
Sincerely
