The German immigrants in the mid- to late-1800s arrived in the US through two different ports: New York and New Orleans.
Initially I assumed the Flessners and the Folkerts
arrived in the US at New Orleans. That was wrong.
The Flessners arrived in the US at New York. It turns out that at least two of the Folkerts arrived via New York, also.
