That is cool stuff. My great-great grandparents immigrated from Germany. They settled in Indiana and eventually moved to the Great Plains. My grandfather was born in the USA, but many of his siblings were German born. I believe they came in through New York's Ellis Island.

Still $25 -$40. My grandparents knew they'd be worth a lot. I still have a couple of sets of these little books with coins in them. Penny, nickle, dimes and quarters. The pennys are copper, the nickles are nickel and the dimes and quarters are silver. They are stashed around here somewhere, but I haven't' seen them in a couple of yrs.
I have a bunch of those also. My Grandmother put them together for me.

I think all of us can tell stories about how our great-great or great grandmother/father came across on a wagon.
My great-great-great grandfather came across with the Donner Party in 1846. ;-)
