"Harry Lazarus" <> asked:
Grandparents departed Bohemia around 1850. Ended up in St. Louis, Mo.
Where would they go to board the ship?

There was rarely one route; however Havre was popular in 1850 (short
transatlantic crossing) and New Orleans was often used as a port of
entry, followed by a riverboat on the Mississippi.
