[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Migration through England

[Helen Gillespie]

Found an interesting article on emigration from Eastern Europe, although much relates to Jewish emigration .....


http://www.thebakers.ie/trains%20and%20shelters%20and%20ships.htm 

One branch of my Baier family emigrated from Volhynia via Riga (the train goes there from Aleksandrija Kr. Rowno) and thence to Liverpool before going to New York - arriving December 24 1904.  From there to Benton Harbor, MI..... And curiously the ship's manifest listed them as the Menginger family - but all of their first name's and ages matched my Baier family - and their sponsor family was Menginger, so I figured the agent simplified the process and changed their names.
