Thank you so much.  This is the best information I have received so far.  I
really don't know how "poor" my ancestors were so whether they would have
taken a train or a packet boat is not clear.  I am assuming they would have
had quite a few household items which apparently was also a factor in whether
they would have taken a packet boat or the train.  I will check out the web
site you mentioned.  Again, thanks for the help.
