We don't know when the Schock family arrived on Kauai'i but we believe they probably came on the "Ehrenfels" in 1883. Records of this vessel are missing. They went to Kauai'i to work the sugar plantation along with the Kiesel family. Since the Germany immigrants formed such a tight nit group the Schock and Kiesel families were probably frequently associated. [immigration records of Bremen, Germany and immigration records to Hawaii after 1860]

This person comes from a piece of paper on which Elsie Kiesel Marshall wrote that her mother's father's name was Gust Schock.

His daughter's death certificate says her father's name was Fred, born in Germany, mother UNKNOWN; informant was Fred F. Kiesel, 1112 So 58th St (I believe he was her son) He probably was named both Fred and Gust and maybe more, who knows.

The Pioneer of Washington Book listed this name Michael as the father's name. We knew him as Gust or Fred or both.

See the history of the Sugar Plantation on Kaua'i, Hawaii.
