Lost at Sea ?  

My ancestral family left from Port of Hamburg on Oct. 22/23 1875. on the ship Hansa. Destination of passengers was North America via Liverpool. This can be found on the Indirect Passeneger lists at Hamburg. I assume the HANSA sailed to Hull and passengers were transferred to Liverpool where they boarded another ship to North Ameria. My ancestral family is listed on the Indirect Passenger List at Hamburg as follows :

Pronsinski, Elizabeth   Age 40

Pronsinski, Albert   Age 9

Pronsinski, Anna    Age 7

Pronsinski, Mary    Age 5

Pronsinski, Johann  Age 3

Pronsinski, Paul     Age 3/4 of a year

Paul never reached their destination in Winona , MN.

Family legend has it Paul died at sea on the voyage.

The following are the questions I would like you to answer.  One : What ship were they on from Liverpool? Two :Where and when did they land in North America? Three : Did Paul die at sea on the voyage?

Remarks : I have been unable to find where the family came into the U.S. I assume they landed at New York but am not certain. Some family stories say they came up the Missisippi River from New Orleans but I very much doubt it.

Note to Specialist : If you are successful in this project I have more projects for you.
