New York and Louisiana were also ports of call for immigrants. Especially Louisiana [Mississippi River] for the Mormon Trail, of which many wound up in the Gold areas after they arrived in Utah.

But don't neglect the 98'ers to Alaska. Give us any clue about 1880's prevailing ship lines from Austraalya? Primarily Brits ships, yes? Would be sailing to blimey auld sod rather than the Pacific to US? Might land from Europe in New York/Boston/perhaps New Orleans? Could take the train accross the continent by then! But ship arrivals in San Francisco might come from anywhere. Thats a lot of open sea time. 2 years? more? Any clue he ever got here? --JD in less than 32 F sunny Sierra foothills ==== CA-GOLDRUSH Mailing List ==== Automatic Administrative Reminder: Please DO NOT post to multiple lists with one email; this can cause bounced-mail problems for Rootsweb and for us; and those looking for answers but are not subscribed to this list will not get replies.
