  Anecdote	The first record of Joseph after his birth is traveling to New York on 3 Mar 1876 and he was naturalized a few weeks later. When he arrived he was listed as a Master Mariner and as a Seaman when he was naturalized. Later he was known as a ship Captain. There are at least two records of him returning from Europe and several records from Bermuda where Eliza was from. Joseph and Eliza resided in Brooklyn form 1876 until around 1883 when they lived in Montclair, NJ. By 1903, the last time Joseph shows up in a record, he was listed as residing in Bermuda. Maritime records show him as captain of various vessels, some of which he owned, from 1872 until 1883 when he seems to have retired and moved to New Jersey and later back to Bermuda. After Joseph and Eliza moved to New York, many of Johan's Children came to visit their aunt and uncle. Several eventually moved there. Carlos was the first. He came in 1882 and likely lived with Joseph and Eliza. After Carlos were Luis, Josephina, Eliza, Rosa Amalia, Alfredo, Isabel, and Henrique. At some point there was a falling out between Carlos and Joseph and they stopped talking to each other.
