Travel and Emigration across the Atlantic (Announce)

Following some recent threads, I thought it might be worth reiterating that many times, folks travelling to or from the States often travelled through CANADA. The fares were generally cheaper than arriving in Boston or New York.

My grandfather's cousins travelled to the Forest from Missouri via Canada to Liverpool, so keep an open mind when conisdering ports.

Common ports in Canada included those in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Montreal (Quebec) via the St. Laurence.

Although you may not think you have Canadian connections, it may be worth considering looking at arrivals in Canada, and US/Canada border crossings.

Hope this is helpful to someone.
