I believe my Maier/Meyer family left for the US from the port of
Marseille in 1866, because of the given names and birth dates/ages
in Germany to America.
I can not find them arriving to the NY port or so far no where else.

Does anyone know why they would have left from Marseille? And where
would they arrived to?

Judy is almost certainly using GTA online or from a CD. These replace
the real departure port by Marseilles - an error discussed here many
times.
If Judy posts the family names, and the date of arrival, it should
be possible to find them in the GTA books, which will give the
correct port of departure.
