Henry and Mary Gottlip Texter came to Amherst from Germany in 1854. Does any one have an idea of what port most of the German people came into at that time? Thank you for all the help you have given me in the past. Jann Whalen Parks Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. Woodrow Wilson

Mine came from the Black Forest area, embarked Le Havre, and arrived in October 1854 on the Ontario in NYC. However, Rotterdam, and Hamburg were also big embarkation ports. R
