My Gt.Aunt Alice Dietrich emigrated to New York arriving in 1894. She was followed later by brother Bertram in 1911 who resided with her, obviously until settled.
When Alice embarked on this venture, alone in 1894, would she have just decided one day she wanted to go to america or would it be more feasible to assume that she already knew someone in the states. When she arrived the Manifest stated the address where she would be heading. Obviously this was arranged in advance so unless she knew someone already in residence how did these things work?
