Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Immigrant Trunk
I was fortunate enough to obtain the trunk my great-great-grandfather's sister used on her voyage to the United States ca. 1870.
Her destination was Keokuk Junction, "Ills" [Illinois]. The railroad stop is now the village of Golden, Adams County, Illinois.
Altje Goldenstein Schuster was a sister to my ancestor Foche Goldenstein who also immigrated to Adams County, Illinois about the same time.
There is a little more about the trunk on our site here:
