Notes |
Frederick Kirchner also known as Fritz Kirchner came to Detroit about 1852 with Sebastian and Anthony Kirchner. He was the meat chef in the old Michigan Exchange Hotel and later in the Russell House.
He was listed as the father of Fred A. Kirchner, Miss Rosa Kirchner and Mrs. Catherine Thomas. (1930 records)
Alex believes that he was a Vineyard owner in Germany, but came to America when he was 24 years old. She also thinks that one of his ancestors was a mail man in Germany.

I found the ship manifest for your ancestor Friedrich Kirchner, and I'll
get it in the mail to you, that is, the header and the page he's on. Anton
came on the same ship, the "George", which departed Bremen and arrived in NY on
13 May 1852. [NARA, M237, Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York,
