Hi everyone! Thank you all for your help in answering my question about what ports my German ancestors who lived in Trier might have used when leaving for the USA. I have had a wonderful response and want to share my results. (I have ruled out that they left from Bremen or Bremerhaven). The number one suggestion was Antwerp, followed by LeHavre, then Brussels. One person looked up my ancestors on CD's that she had, eg. Germans to America, so that has been taken into account, also. Another person told me that there is no surviving list for LeHavre and another person suggested using naturalization records, if I knew the month of arrival. Your ideas have given me direction! Thank you!! Sincerely, Ann Marie _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
