A Touch of History

As we travel the Rhine, sister Lois and I are reminded that 288 years ago ( 1727 ), our great, great, great, great, great grandfather, Nicholas Bieri made the trip down the Rhine to Rotterdam to sail to America. He and his family sailed on the ship Friendship and landed in Philadelphia. We are still trying to research what the Rhine boat might have looked like and haven't been successful.
