So this is the ‘Diamond Jubilee Year’ of their emigration then? I told the story on my blog a few weeks ago of my Great Uncle Abert who emigrated to Australia in the twenties.

As a matter of fact, there's no story to report as I don't have any information about her journey. She came before Ellis Island. So why did your family come by way of New York? Wouldn't it have been quicker to go directly to California? Did ships not travel in that direction?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-61901536334875218572012-06-09T09:12:23.353-07:002012-06-09T09:12:23.353-07:00What a wonderful photo and story of your family!
