Thanks Judy for the information. Thought I would pass it on to the list
members so they would know.

Correction: The worst yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans, which literally
decimated the population, was in 1853, originating on the S.S. Auguste,
arriving on May 12, 1853, from Bremen. Your list gives the date as 1852.
My great-grandmother's family arrived on this ship but immediately went to
Brewton, AL, and escaped the epidemic...or I would not be here!
