I am a descendant of George Gurgan Hinricks (born 25 OCT 1833Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) and Wilhelmina Wiebka Gosch (7 JUL 1839, Holstein, Germany), through their daughter Elizabeth Hinricks.
George, who was a farmer, and his brother came to California in 1859 before George's marriage to Wilhelmina Gosch (probably in Schleswig), after which they moved to California, a six week trip via the Panama Canal. He had blue eyes, light hair, fair complexion, and was 5 feet 8 inches tall. To become a US citizen in 1871, he had to declare his intentions to the king of Prussia.
