My husband's g-grandfather Henry Hoffman (Heinrich Hoffmann von Oberglatt, Kt. Zürich) came to America (Havre, France to New York) on the Ship President Fillmore, arriving on March 7, 1854. I have transcribed the partial passenger list that I received from the National Archives and it has just been posted to Vol. 2 of the lists of the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild (ISTG). There were some other Swiss passengers. There is also a search function for each volume of ships (1,000 per volume). They can be seen at http://istg.rootsweb.com/ His brother, Jacob, followed later in 1854, sailing from Antwerp, but all other family members I have tracked (through 1870) sailed from Le Havre to New York, so in the era 1854-1870 my small sample implies many Swiss used those ports. Happy Hunting! (and if anyone can supply information on the ship, President Fillmore, I would be very grateful!) Jean Hoffman djhoff@ix.netcom.com member, ISTG
