Emigration #2, 1847; Ostheim to Long Grove, Illinois then Minnesota
Researcher: Carol-Jean Boevers
 
Introduction
On April 12, 1847, a 41 year old weaver named George Barbaras was issued a French passport for passage to New York City. He left Ostheim, France with his two sons, one daughter, and 33 year old sister, Barbara Barbaras to join his older brother, Jacob, in Long Grove, Illinois. In 1861, George left for Wheeling Township, Minnesota. He brought with him his daughter Ellen Marie (Magdelena), his son George and wife, and his brother Jacob's grandson, Charles Bollenbach. George Jr. became a prominent lawyer and banker in Hastings, Minnesota and Carol-Jean Boevers has uncovered a number of interesting written accounts of Barbarases and other early settlers of Wheeling. There are no living Babarases from this emigration.
Le 12 Avril, 1847, un tisserand nommé George Barbaras âgé de 41 ans a reçu un passeport français pour aller à New York City. Il a quitté Ostheim, France avec ses deux fils, une fille, et sa soeur, Barbara Barbaras âgée de 33 ans, pour rejoindre Jacob, son frère plus âgé à Long Grove, Illinois. En 1861, George a voyagé à Wheeling Township, Minnesota. Il a amené sa fille Ellen Marie (Magdelena), son fils George avec sa femme, et le petit-fils de son frère Jacob, Charles Bollenbach. George, le jeune, est devenu un avocat et un banquier bien en vue dans Hastings, Minnesota. Carol-Jean Boevers a découvert un bon nombre de comptes rendus intéressants des Barbaras et d'autres colonisateurs de Wheeling. Il n'y a plus de survivants de cette émigration ayant le nom Barbaras.
