I spent all day researching the internet on how to locate Outbound Ship List from the Port of New York, with no luck. They had to have kept these records also right? Especially when Ellis Island was turning away immigrants and making them return to where they came from. I remember watching this on the History Channel, very sad!!
Ok...I will start from the beginning... My 2nd great Aunt Bertha Grimmer (supposedly-another story) committed suicide in Dolgeville, Herkimer, NY in 1894. My 2nd great Uncle Ernst Karl Grimmer found his wife and just from that moment on could not cope. They had six children together, four of which were being sent back to Germany to Bertha's family. My Uncle Karl was from Leipzig, Stotteritz, Sachsen, Saxony, Germany. Karl, Bertha and two children came to America aboard the "Rugia" in 1888.
I only know from a newspaper clipping that on 20 Jul 1894 they [four Grimmer children] were to sail back to the "faderland" that afternoon, unaccompanied. I do not have their names, unfortunately. I only know the older children's names Oswald, William and Curt. Two of the children remained with their father.
The last time anyone saw Ernst Karl Grimmer was on 14 Aug 1894 when he was taken, by a friend, to Little Falls with two children and never seen nor heard from again. From his arrival in 1888 to 1894 I have been able to document his life in America by the use of newspapers, city directories and census records. I have not been able to find one piece of evidence that he remained in America since that time. I don't know which children remained in America with him. I was hoping if I found the outbound passenger ship logs that I would be able to locate the four children who were sent back to Germany.
Has anyone else experienced this in their research? I could really use some help with this one.

Grimmer Family Crest and History
Grimmer Family Crest and History: Where did the German Grimmer family come from? What is the German Grimmer family crest and coat of arms? When did the Grimmer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Grimmer family history?
The prestigious family surname Grimmer originated in the lands which eventually became the modern German state of Prussia. This territory was known for its beautiful landscape, its advanced technology, and its military power. However, in the medieval era, Prussia was fragmented and inhabited by numerous barbarian tribes who fought amongst themselves for control of the land. The borders of the Barbarian kingdoms, which were established after the fall of the Roman Empire, changed repeatedly. The region that came to be known as Prussia was roughly divided among the territories of Brandenburg-Prussia, West Prussia and East Prussia. The Grimmer family emerged in Brandenburg- Prussia, which is essentially the birthplace of modern Germany. By the 19th century, Brandenburg-Prussia had incorporated East Prussia, West Prussia and many other German territories. Moreover, in the late 19th century, it led the German states in the unification of Germany.
