| Notes |
- David Bohn, Professor of Political Science at Brigham Young University assisted with the translation of the birth record of Rose and Marie Susanne Fries. While several differing spellings have been found for Rose Koehl, the spelling on the birth registration for Rose and Susanne suggest to David that the Koehl name was Swiss, or possibly German. Since both Rose Koehl and Erasmus Fries were from the Alsace region--this appears a distinct possibility.
===
For the Fries(e) family, documents list both France and Germany as the country of origin (birth). At the time of emigration, Alsace was a part of France. In 1870-1871 the Franco Prussian War was fought, and at the conclusion Alsace became a part of Germany. This appears to explain why documents from that time on list Germany as the country of emigration.
===
Emigration from France: Erasmus and family left Havre DeGrace, France and arrived in New York City, New York on 12 December 1853 aboard the ship Rockall. The family include wife Rosa, son Erasmus, daughter Cath, son Joseph, son Xavier, and daughter Rosa. Noted is the fact that Rosa is believed to be a twin; and sister Susan is not with the family. Information has been taken from the ship’s passenger list.

 | Passenger list--Ths Ship "Rockall"
Departed Havre de Grace, France
The Fries family traveled aboard the ship Rockall, landing in New York on the 12th of December, 1953. Family legend has it that they traveled with two other relatives. From birth records we know that children Rose and Suzanne were twins, but Rose is only listed on the ship's manifest. Her age is listed as 2/4 years--or mathematically about six months. Note that the family listed beneath them on the manifest has a daughter aged 2/4, whose name is Suzanne. Additionally, they are from the same area as the Fries, and are bound for the same place in the United States. Follow-up research has not provided a tie; and there appears to be no association. But a connection has not been ruled out. |
