This blog is a transcription of a journal kept by my great great grandfather as he sailed across the Atlantic in 1854 from Boston to Liverpool, UK and then traveled around France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy. It ends abruptly in Milan, Italy, but I know that he made the return trip...because I exist! I typed it up from the cursive journal that my Mom inherited. (It ended up in reverse chronological order, due to the nature of "blogging".) My mom speculates that the other half of the journal may have ended up with another relative...so if you know where it is, please let me know! I'd also like to hear from random long-lost relatives.
