Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
What are the names you are researching? Have you checked the US
Census?
Actually Philadelphia is further than NY. But proximity doesn't
always prove to be the case of where the port of entry was.

Thanks Warren
Yes, they were miners.
I don't know how reliable the information obtained from the Federal
censuses is. If it's anything like the censuses here in the UK,
everything in them should be treated with a healthy dose of
scepticism!
The family in question claim to have entered the States in 1870, but I
have them in the UK census of 1871. This is why I need to establish
their port of arrival. Hopefully, by checking the passenger lists, I
will be able to prove - or disprove - my theory.

lived in PA for 67 years before moving to Florida in 1991, but in the
central part of the commonwealth.

Hello all
I'm looking into the possibility that some of my ancestors emigrated
from Wales in the mid-1870s and settled in Nanticoke, Pa. Although I
can't as yet say for certain, I think it was probably 1874 when they
entered the States. Based on this limited information, can anyone
suggest which would have been the likely port of entry - New York or
Philadelphia? Or neither!
Kind regards

Hi,
I can not be of help, but if you find out that information would you let
me know. I live in the Philadelphia area and my relatives also immigrated at
around the same time, but not from your specific town. Thanks Jacki
