Jens Diedrich Andresen

Born on 10 November 1857, he sailed with his wife and two daughters on the steamer Lessing, arriving at New York from Hamburg on 4 May 1888. The manifest lists him as a 30-year-old workman from Marienkoog. A Schleswig-Holstein emigrant list records him as a reserve soldier, accused in 1891 of failing to report for military service and of leaving the country without the required permit.

From Dylan Slagh's research. Treat details marked probable or unconfirmed as leads.
