Hi List, My GG-Grandfather Martin (Mueller, Muller) Miller (1808-1873) brought his family from Basel Switzerland to port of New York in Nov 1852 on ship Leonidas, according to "Germans to America". He then migrated to Tonawanda, NY and about 1858 to Jefferson Co. Pa. Martin was born in Lubbenau, Brandenburg, Ger. about 530 miles from Basel. His wife was Anna Marie Socin Sutsel (1810-1876) born in Wurtemburg, Ger. How might I go about finding how Martin migrated to Basel-Landschaft in the community of Nusshof or Wintersingen? My G-Grandfather John Miller (1850-1931) and his 7 siblings were all born in the Nusshof area. In 1852, how and what route would they likely have taken to get to the French Port of Le Havre which is 477 miles from Basel City? Nusshof is only 13 miles southeast of city of Basel. Hope someone can help me trace route of ancestors emigrating from Switzerland. Also, any additional help on how to identify Martin or Anna's parents. It is assumed but not confirmed that Martin's parents are Christian Mueller and Anna Lobback. Does anyone else share these ancestors? Thanks, Larry Baughman LDB67@zoominternet.net
