Hello Phil, I, also, had the same family story that my family left from Antwerp but landed in PA on 1 Feb 1867. When I actually found them on a passenger list they left from Liverpool, England and landed in New York harbor on 3 Mar 1867 (must have left on 1 Feb 1867.) My family came from the Trier region. I had never thought to look at Liverpool ships. I wouldn't limit myself to looking at Antwerp only. It was supposedly cheaper to leave from Liverpool per some people on TheShipsList-L. I found the ship by finding my gg grandfather's intent to naturalize through my local Family History Center. It stated he landed in NY harbor on 14 Mar 1867. I went from there. Hope this helps.
