HERE'S WHAT THESE PRESENTATIONS COVER Using slides, and photographs Professor Brenner describes the political, economic, technological, social, and religious conditions that caused hundreds of thousands of Germans, Irish, and others to abandon their homelands in the Old World and seek better lives in America.

He also explains how technology directly influenced the lives of Europeans in the 1800s. Learn about the affect of railroads, factories, mass production, the steam engine, and even asphalt roads on life in Europe. Learn how much it cost to travel to America in the mid 1800s, how much typical laborers earned, and how much they paid for rent. Learn what food costs in Europe and in America and how much land cost in the New World. Learn what innovations supported the rapid growth of American and European industries.

Learn how long travel took by sailing ship and by steam propulsion. And see how ships actually navigated from Europe and England to the east coast of North America. Learn the immigration process and follow ancestors from their homes and villages to the active seaports. Visually ride with them as they endured the difficult conditions and rough seas to finally arrive at their new homeland.

Then follow along as they arrived in New York harbor and processed through Castle Garden Immigration Center, a facility organized and operated by former immigrants for new arrivals in America. Follow the process that led immigrants from first stepping ashore to legal acceptance as Americans and on their way to their final destination within a single day. See how they communicated with family in the Old World or here in America. Learn how they got from Castle Garden to towns and cities all across America. See how much it cost and how long it took to travel by coach, inland waterway, or train. Learn more about your own roots with a historical genealogy presentation package from Brenner Information Group.

"This past weekend my wife and I attended presentations on “Sailing to America” and “Castle Garden 1855-1890”. We went fully expecting to witness another bit of history in a vacuum. We could not have been more wrong.
    As we sat waiting for the presentation to start we were given a history timeline to familiarize ourselves with what was going on in the world for the 60 year period of 1830 to 1890. This summary consisted of 8 pages of single spaced type! We only got through about half the material before the presentation started. As Professor Brenner began, we expected it would take a couple of slides before he would get into the swing of things. We had never encountered any of his presentations until this occasion. He hit the ground running and the next thing we knew we were taking a 20 minute break an hour into the presentation. That break gave us just enough time to review the last half of the history timeline handout. The second half of the presentation moved by just as quickly as the first half. He kept us and the rest of the group totally engrossed the entire time.
    My wife and I love history; not the history from text books, but rather the cause and effect history you encounter through extensive research. Professor Brenner did the research and kept the entire audience captivated as he explained immigration to America during the 19th Century. He explained the “whys” and even the “hows” of coming to America. We spent time with those aboard ships crowded 5 deep to a rack in steerage, learned what food they ate, the costs they incurred and even the sailing tools and equipment used for the crossing. We spent time with the immigrants as they went through the process of becoming Americans and saw how they traveled from the port of arrival to destinations throughout America of the 1800’s.
    His wealth of knowledge, extensive research and ease of delivery made for a truly enjoyable experience, too soon ended. It was not history in a vacuum. You felt like you really understood why so many made that perilous journey knowing they would most likely never see their homes in the Old Country again. If you get a chance to catch one of his presentations, don’t hesitate."
