From those departure cities, I assume, they got on ships to Great Britain and on to America. Would that have been 2 different ships? All these questions relate to my grandparents' journey to America and no details. I haven't been able to discover their actual ship manifest, port city etc. I have the time frame pinned down to a 3 month period by certain Clues. They would have been traveling from Beideck, with a baby, to Newark, NJ. We heard that a former Beidecker paid their way and they lived there and Grandfather worked for them.
