Answer 1

By ship.
----------------
Pre-1820 Approximately 650,000 individuals of all nationalities arrived in America before 1820. Most were English and Welsh. Smaller numbers of German, Irish, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, French, Spanish, African, and other nationalities also arrived. These immigrants tended to settle in the eastern, middle-Atlantic, and southern states. Before January 1, 1820, the U.S. Federal Government did not require captains or masters of vessels to present a passenger list to U.S. officials. The lists that remain for the period before 1820 are varied in content. They range from name only lists to giving the person's full name, age, and country of origin.

1820-1880 Over 10 million immigrants came from northern Europe, the British Isles, and Scandinavia between 1820 and 1880. There was a large increase in the number of immigrants from Germany and Ireland beginning in the 1840s and 1850s. Some settled in large eastern and midwestern cities, but most migrated to the midwest and west.

1880-1920 More than 25 million immigrants, mainly from southern and eastern Europe came to USA. Many came from Germany, Italy, Ireland, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and England. Many settled in the larger cities, including New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia. From 1820 to 1902 Custom Passengers Lists were kept the Customs Department. In 1883 the Immigration and Naturalization Service started keeping the records, and these are referred to as Immigration Passenger Lists

The two main German ports of embarkation were Bremen and Hamburg, where German officials prepared lists of emigrants. The majority of immigrants came to New York, but many went to New Orleans and Baltimore, with fewer going to Boston and Philadelphia

The Germans who went north settled in Canada.

Answer 2

From Germany to Canada in the 16th Century had to be by ship. There were no airplanes at the time and there was an ocean in the way. Of course, they could have walked through the entire breadth of Asia, and a goodly part of Europe, until they reached the Bering Straits. Then they would have to wait until winter, and a really cold one to walk accross to Alaska. The latter is, of course, highly unlikely.

Answer 3

My German ancestors crossed the Atlantic by ship to Philadelphia, from there took another ship to settle what is now Moncton NB.
