my paternal line
On my father’s side I have ancestors who immigrated in the 1800’s. Here is a screen shot of my tree for context. My gr. gr. grandpa, Alfred Peters immigrated to America from England in 1887.
This is his immigration record. I suspected that this line of my tree might have been miners and I was right. Mining was a huge industry in Iron Mountain, Michigan.
Here is a bigger picture of the manifest. I could not get the whole record in the shot, but my gr. gr. grandpa is on line 14.
