Karl was born in German, his mother was deceased when Karl immigrated to the US with his father Ben Hirt, his uncle Joseph Hirt Sr, aunt Bertha (von Roth) Hirt, and cousins Rosa, Fannie, & Joseph Hirt Jr.
They arrived in New York on Mar 8, 1881, on the vessel "Labrador"
It is probable that Karl and his family made the trek to Texas via rail to St Louis and Hannibal, Missouri, than on to Moberly, Kansas City and Sedlia over the widely publicized "Great Immirant Route" The Missouri, Kansas and Texas "Katy" railway. It is also possible that the tickets had been purchased in advance in Germany and that they had planned in advance to settle in Milam County near Rockdale.
