SS La Bourgogne Famous Travelers During 1889

EDISON, the celebrated electrician, was the social lion among the passengers on La Bourgogne, of the French Line, hence for Havre recently, and may have mentally called out for deliverance from his friends. The Right Rev. Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, was a fellow passenger. The French steamships have carried a remarkably large number of eminent and celebrated people to Europe the last six months.

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
