Most likely, the port was Antwerp. Since Rotterdam was the most frequent port used in the 1700s & early 1800s, if you don't have success with Antwerp, try Rotterdam next. If neither is correct, then try LeHavre. Kathy Hello! After researching relatives from Trier, the ports from Bremen and Bremerhaven have been ruled out. Does anyone have any idea as to other ports they might have left from to go to New York in the year 1876? Thank you! Ann MarieGet more from the Web.
