For “Arrival” 5 SEP 1863 of Ernestine Kohn

Fester | Christian | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Wm | 63.1282 [ditto] | Carl | 63.1282

Five consecutive lines under one claim number = one family group. One of the two 'Ernestine' lines is presumably this woman (#26049); the register does not itself distinguish which line is the wife and which the daughter (see the family-level citation).

Fester | Christian | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Wm | 63.1282 [ditto] | Carl | 63.1282

Christian Fester (#82626) had no arrival event at all before this; his own name heads this claim. Filling the gap, not asserting anything about the other Christian Fester (#82407).

For Christian Fester & Ernestine Kohn

Fester | Christian | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Ernestine | 63.1282 [ditto] | Wm | 63.1282 [ditto] | Carl | 63.1282

The only 'Fester, Christian' land order claim in the 1862-66 index (a separate, unrelated 'Fester Hermann' claim, 63.1262, sits one line above). Five names share this one claim: Christian, Ernestine, Ernestine again (likely wife + a daughter of the same name - the daughter matches #26047 Ernestine Friedericke Wilhelmine Fester, who often would have gone by Ernestine), Wm and Carl (two children not yet in the tree, not proposed here). This shows the register recorded ONE Fester family travelling together, not two - relevant to but not dispositive of the #82407/#82626 merge question (D21): a self-funded family outside the land order scheme would not appear in this index regardless of whether it existed. See proposal note.
