[Bob Doerr <bdoerr(a)msm.umr.edu>]

During a time period shortly before the U.S. Civil War,
a) the major export was cotton, shipped from N.O.
b) Ships from Europe carried emigrants west rather than return empty for the 
next load of cotton.
c) Just then, mid-America was opening up. It took a while after the 
Louisiana Purchase.
d) Steamboats were running the Mississippi (and the Rhein)
e) Germany was becoming overcrowded, so many were emigrating.
f) Gottfried Dutzen's book was circulating in Germany.

It adds up.

I just recently learned that many Germans came in through New Orleans.  Can
someone explain why?  New Orleans is so much further than New York, Boston,
New Jersey.  Heide

> Joel:  My lines contain the surnames Mohlmann, Brormann (both with umlauts
and from Badbergen and Mimmelage), Meersen (from Nortrup), Horstmann (from
Tommern), Larberg (from Larberg), and Borgelt and Mohrmann (both from Epe).
The Mohlmann, Meersen and Brormann lines landed in New Orleans and came up
the Mississippi and then onto Havana, Illinois through St. Louis.  The
Horstmann and Larberg lines appeared to have done the same.  The Borgelt and
Mohrmann lines came through New York.
