Alma isn't sure if she arrived in 1876 or 1877, and does not know the day or month either, so I have put her age of arrival as 36, arriving in 1876.
Couldn't find much on her ship the Reichstag.
I have linked Alma to Katherine Butler (NAA, A1, 1909/15194) as they both came over on the same ship at the same time, live in the same house, and are both musicians, with the same referee and same dates. There is 20 years between them and it is likely that Alma is Katherine's mother - she says she has daughters living with her, and Katherine is married so the surname is different.
