 My immigrant ancestors landed in New York in 1847.  How would they have
traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  One source I have seen suggested they would
have taken a packet boat to Albany.  If this is true, I would like to find out
more about these boats--how long it took, what they were like, how much it
cost. How would they have gotten from Albany to Buffalo?  Any help will be
apprecited.
