And what an entrance!! :t:Many thanks for sharing the facts regarding your family, and great to know that I managed to organize most of the many pieces in this puzzle, that I wasn't all that wrong. Your reply will definitely improve my MS (of Swedish Common Bird names), and its entry regarding the Olive Tanager (Habia) Chlorothraupis carmioli, a k a Carmiol's Tanager (alt. carmiolkardinal, in Swedish). According to my MS, as of today (without yet having edited it, based on your reply), they [i.e. Juliius Carnigohl (the future Julian/Julián Carmiol), and his four (motherless) children (incl. little Franz, the "Francisco" to be) as well as Julius's brothers Franksius and Robert, together with a small group of naturalist, including Alexander von Frantzius (1821–1877) and Karl Hoffmann (1823–1859)] arrived (on the 14th of December 1853) in the Port Greytown (today's San Juan de Nicaragua, earlier known as San Juan del Norte), in SE Nicaragua, and from there the Carnigohl family crossed the border into (their goal, and the whole reason for their trip) Costa Rica, where they arrived in January 1854. ... and onwards [... into the Annals of Natural History (where they became known, and somewhat famous, as Carmiol)].If needed/necessary, I will return with more questions onwards (whenever time allows, a bit too busy at work right now), whenever I'm about to give my good old MS its final touch.Cheers!Björn--</blockquote>
