Does anyone know of the route Italians may have taken when migrating from Sardinia to the port of La Rochelle, France, where they continued on to Britain, USA and South America? Which shipping lines were there from there? I have had a number of years seeking the information with no success. Many thanks in anticipation to those who can assist me in my quest.

Dear Marjie If you like to give a time frame I will look up another of my sources which is postal history reference - we are collectors of British postal history and have a lot of books with reference to the carriage of mail of course and I know that the ships were used for the mail, but the time I know about they would not have been shipping 'Lines' as such just any ship going as 'tramp' shipping i.e. taking cargo from any port to any other port, and many of the ships were owned by the Master - let me know if I can help in that way Eunice in Queensland At 06:02 8/04/02 -0700, you wrote: > > Does anyone know of the route Italians may have taken when migrating from Sardinia to the port of La Rochelle, France, where they continued on to Britain, USA and South America?
