Bio
Fritz Poppe arrived in Galveston, Texas aboard the Bark Fortuna (Master G. Freytag) on December 11, 1868. His port of embarkation was Bremen, Germany and his country of orgin is listed as Hanover. He was 19 years of age and his occupation is noted as farmer. A search of the ship's passenger list shows no other Poppes aboard and only a couple of others from Hanover. On April 8, 1874, Fritz married Elisebeth Kuch in Colorado Co., Texas. To this union were born nine children: Mary b. 1875, Emma Emily b. ?, Sophie b. abt. 1876, Henry C. b. 1878, Elizabeth b. 1880, Minnie b. 1883, Alma E. b. 1885, Helen Henrietta b. 1887, and Helmut b. 1893.
