 Thank you to the many who gave their comments regarding the port of
 emigration for ancestors in southern Wurttemberg.  The consensus
 seems most left through LaHavre, with a few out of Antwerp.  So guess
 I will recheck those passenger lists again.  Thanks!

Phylis,

I think you may have been miss ledt.   Most emigrated from Bremen or Hamburg,
some from   LeHavre, Antwerp, and Rotterdam.  Mine from Stuttgart left Hamburg
in 1881 for NYC.  [The boat did stop in LeHarve for fuel].    My ancestor from
Saxony Anhalt  just east of Hanover left Bremen in 1886 for Balitmore.

The following is a summary of emigration for Central and Eastern European.  I
think Wuerttember is consider central.
