  Baptised by Father Bernhard. Godmother was Katharina Tremmelin (daughter of Johann Georg Tremmel).
  Heinrich & Katharina Eck and their family emigrated with the first group that left Rineck. The departure followed the last day of September 1849. The neighbouring villages had to send wagons for the transport from Rineck to Eberbach and from there they were transported by ship to Mannheim. On 3rd October 1849 they departed Mannheim. At first they travelled by ship to K�ln (Cologne), then by train to Bremen, then again to Bremerhaven, where they boarded the ship, 'Louisiana' on the 10th of October. After a 34-day voyage, 169 people finally landed in New York City; one mother with a child died, and three children were born at sea. The Baden Council, Schmidt, handed 24 gulden to every head of a household, and to each family member and each independent person was given 10 gulden and left to their own fate.
