The Meyer family arrived in New York on July 20, 1831, on the ship France, from Le Havre. The passenger list (National Archives microfilm publication M237, roll 15, list number 206) shows the following:

Nicolas Schneider	age 29, farmer, from France
Maria Schneider	age 26
Barbara Schneider	age 3 months
John Meyers	age 26
Magdeline Meyers	age 31
Maddeline Meyers	age 5
Henrick Meyers	age 1
Anton Bickard	age 31
Maria Bickard	age 31
Magdelaine Bickard	age 20
John Bickard	age 7
Peter Bickard	age 5
Barbara Bickard	age 4
Magdelina Bickard	age 1
Michael Stab	age 34
Anne Marie Stab	age 31
Peter Brickler	age 31
Maria Lang	age 31
Maria Lang	age 2

With the exception of Peter Brickler, whose name happened to fall at a fold or seam in the paper, and so it not legible with certainty, the segment of the passenger list given above appears to consist entirely of people from Hottviller, as if they stuck together while aboard ship. The remainder of the list contains names from Germany and other areas, none of them recognizable as being connected with Hottviller.

With further study, more of the immigrants from Hottviller can probably be found on the passenger lists. The lists for this era are known to be incomplete. Many of the names, ages, and places of origin are obviously in error. Nevertheless, the information that has turned up so far suggests that people leaving Hottviller followed a well-organized itinerary, sailing from Le Havre to New York. In some cases, some of the family stayed behind until the previous group of pioneers sent for them.
