The main port of entry to Wisconsin was Milwaukee, but no passenger lists are available for it or for other Wisconsin ports. Most immigrants from overseas landed at East Coast ports, primarily New York City, before proceeding to Wisconsin. If an immigrant identified Milwaukee as the port of entry, it is possible that he or she arrived first at a port in Canada, and then came through the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes to enter the United States at Wisconsin. This was an important route, particularly for the Norwegian immigrants. | The main port of entry to Wisconsin was Milwaukee, but no passenger lists are available for it or for other Wisconsin ports.
