Immigrants would have initially arrived at a port on the coast. To search those records, see [[United States Immigration Online Genealogy Records|'''United States Immigration Online Genealogy Records.''']] In the 1850's, a major port of entry to Nebraska was [[louisiana Emigration and Immigration|'''New Orleans.''']] Steamboats transported settlers and goods up the Mississippi-Missouri river system to Council Bluffs and Winter Quarters (Florence).
