- Eugene F. VOGT is in possession of a copy of the five-page ship's manifest for S.S. France (from National Archives microfiche roll #405), departed from Le Havre and Plymouth, and arrived in the port of NYC 7 September 1876, obtained from the Denver branch of the National Archives by Joanne GONSALVES:
According to an email from Joanne GONSALVES (4 April 1995); "...On roll 405, Passenger Lists, The S.S. France, arriving in NY on Sept 7, 1876, passenger # 102, I found Ephrem DUPUIS, tradesman, age 36. Below that, passengers # 116, 117, 118, 119. are listed as Jules BRAUZ or BRAUN, age 62, Sculptor. Eugenie BRAUZ, age 58. Isabelle BRAUZ, age 26, and Eugene BRAUZ, age 2. (Wonder where he went? Maybe the little fellow died.) According to one of the "experts" at the archives, "BRAUZ" would have been a euphonic pronunciation of "VOGT" in French...."
It has subsequently been determined that the listing was for BRAUN, not BRAUZ.
We can only speculate as to why they were listed as BRAUN and not VOGT. Current speculation was that they were the steamship equivalent of standby passengers and were allowed to take the four places vacated by the BRAUN family for that voyage.
Missing from the list was Paul Albert VOGT. Paul later listed his arrival date on his naturalization papers as September 18, 1876, but we have not yet found his arrival listing. We suspect that, like his family, he travelled under another name as a standby passenger.
ADDENDUM ADDED 29 July 1999:

Surviving passenger lists for Le Havre are deposited at the Archives D‚partementales de la Seine Maritime, cours Clemenceau, F-76101 Rouen CEDEX, Fonds 6 P 6/1-600 (Affaires maritimes, Le Havre: R“les des bƒtiments de commerce); the Family History Library in Salt Lake City has microfilm copies of the lists for 1750-1898 (reels 1460824-829, 1460838-845, 1460853-871, 1460916-941, 1460969-991, 1497080-123, 1497168-187, 1497212-233, 1497265-276, 1497289-300, 1497307-309, 1497326-331, 1497338-361, and 1529630-631). The lists contain relatively few names of emigrants to America, as only captains of French ships were required to surrender their passenger manifests, and all but a handful of the ships that sailed between Le Havre and United States ports were of American registry. A card index of passengers, containing approximately 40,000 entries, was discovered several years ago. The Cercle Genealogique et Heraldique de Normandie, in Rouen, is preparing to publish this index in a series of volumes.
