Then, one day last week, I just thought about doing a search. And, it really took only a minute or so! I think they are the only family I have that came into NYC, though. I'll be looking at other families once I finish writing about them.<br /><br />And, you are SO right about how brave they must have been! A couple leaves the country with only their children to accompany them. I haven't traced the family back to Germany, so I don't know who they left behind. But, it is most likely they never saw their parents, siblings, other relatives and friends again... ever! I wonder why they left? And how hard it was to leave?Dana Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387705697369311607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839551061657279980.post-31523819263736297712016-10-05T14:11:22.281-07:002016-10-05T14:11:22.281-07:00It never occurred to me to look in newspapers for ...It never occurred to me to look in newspapers for reports associated with ships' arrivals. This is a whole new avenue of research--excellent for adding some "color" to our immigrant ancestors' stories. How brave they were to leave a familiar place to travel to so far away, knowing they would probably never see family and friends again, to a place completely unknown to them.
