Tainui passengers, 1910 New Zealand

what a wonderful adventure for them..starting new lives !! my great grandparents & 4 children came to america in 1885...trying to learn wat ship they came on and at what port they landed ! they went to saulk center minn. i believe they a sponser there...exciting !!!

If you can't find them on the Ellis Island website, try finding them on the Castle Garden site. 😊

99% of my peeps were here long before Ellis Island existed. If my research is correct the only ones who came thru NY city were the ones from Germany in 1710 and a couple of Dutch who came to New Amsterdam, New Netherlands.

My husband Charles Robert Couzens age 4 months old landed in NZ in 1928 with parents and older brother Francis Jr Couzens.

This is how my grandparents would have arrived in NZ in 1920

Love this!

Wow
