Sam, They could have entered any port in the US, like NY, Baltimore, Philly, Boston. Some entered via Canada (like Halifax, Montreal, etc.) They then were put on train and taken to entry point like Niagara Falls, Detroit, etc. Some were destined to Canada, then stayed there for a time then emigrated to the US. Records for all of the above possible entries are available in US and Canadian archives. Consult the Leo Baca indexes to find your arrivals. Anybody who emigrated from "Bohemia" are in the Baca indexes. Czechs and Germans emigrated from Bohemia. ________ Lavrentiy Krupniak Sam Koester wrote: > > Dear list members; Can anyone tell me what are the most likely ports of > entry in the 1880', 1890's for someone of German descent going to > Buffalo, Erie Co, NY?
