Herman F. F. Thorup: Mission Travels



In 1881, Herman Fredrick Ferdinand Thorup was returning from one of his missions to Denmark (his second I believe.)

On June 20, 1881, he sailed from Copenhagen, Denmark to Hull, England on the ship Hero.  The passengers from the ship then took the train to Liverpool.

Then from Liverpool, England, he sailed to New York City on the ship Wyoming.  This ship sailed June 25th from Liverpool and arrived in New York on July 7th, 1881.  The picture above is from the ship's passenger list an shows his name listed.

This letter from the leader of the group that was emigrating to America says the Herman was one of the councilors to the president of the Scandinavian saints.

All the information above come form the Mormon Migration Database.
