When I first studied a map of Galicia at the turn of the century I noticed
that Brody appeared to be a natural rail center for the millions on trains
heading >from the Russian Empire and other points to the ports of Hamburg,
etc. That would have made for many fascinating stories and a very busy
place. Has anyone come across anything about Brody (and of course, Hamburg
or Bremen) as a stopping point for the great wave of emmigration to the
Americas?
