Embrace New Worlds

This photograph was preserved by a granddaughter and shared by her children. The map is a detail including Thurgau of the Switzerland page of an 1847 atlas that I have. The stamp (recolored) is one of mine. The stories of immigrants are always inspiring to me.

What a great story with this page - well unfortunately not for the elder Louisa but it sure is a wonderful picture and page!
 
Loved reading the story. Amazing to think what your ancestors did. They crossed half the world. Would have been taken months and months probably and the ship with no luxuries or comforts at all. So much harder for the women also.

A great photo to have and love how you added the map.
