Jensen in 1980 emigration from Germany to the USA between 1830 and 1840 was caused by: BEGIN Overproduction, overpopulation, unavailability of land, and the fact that mass-production had replaced the artisan worker caused many to decide to emigrate. In America at this time it was a period of prosperity. The Jacksonian Democracy provided what many Germans had been striving for in vain. END From "Families are Forever" by Nancy Bowen McKeen (1.152): BEGIN Leaving for America took several months of preparation. A chest was made to carry necessary supplies. Among the essentials taken along were seeds to start a garden in their new home. Even in the 1830's the ships were small and crowded. The passengers carried with them enough food and water for the voyage, which usually lasted about six weeks. According to family records the Balthassar Deckelmann family left Obernburg, Bavaria for the U.S.A. on August 3, 1836. On October 18, 1836 the ship "Boreas" arrived in the Port of New York from Le Havre. The passenger list includes: Country Destination Deckelmann, Balthassar, age 48, male Bavaria U.S. Anna Marie, 50, female " " Antone 25, male " " Johann 22 male " " Martha 18 female " " Wilhelm 15 male " " Barbara 13 female " " Gurtrude 13 female " " Their baggage was listed as "five chests". For reasons I have been unable to discover, Philipp Deckelmann is not listed with the rest of his family as being on this ship. Was his name accidently omitted? Or did he make the voyage at a different time? He would have been 23 years old in 1836, and quite possibly might have had a wife and children of his own. The Deckelmanns had been burgermeisters of Obernburg, Bavaria for hundreds of years. This is a position similar to mayor. There are still Deckelmanns living in Obernburg, Germany at the present time, one of whom is the proprietor of a hotel.

BEGIN Balthasar Deckelmann could be buried in Calvary Cemetery, Woodside, Long Island, New York. I called Calvary Cemetery on April 7, 2014 and inquired. I was told that on February 1, 1850 (1 day before the recorded death date of the presumed Balthasar Deckelmann) a John Deckelmann purchased a gravesite in Calvary large enough for four graves. However, the first recorded burial in the site isn't until 1860 (burials in Calvary before 1853 were NOT recorded, the cemetery opened in 1848), and the last recorded burial in the site is 1865. The only way to know if Balthasar was buried there is to look and hope the family placed a headstone on the gravesite. Gravesite location - Section 1 West, Range 14, Plot K, grave 13. This is apparently in the original cemetery located at 3402 Greenpoint Avenue, Long Island City (Queens), New York. Additional note ... I checked out the cemetery in August 2017 and there is no headstone at the above cited location.
