Help with family who emigrated from Germany to Montreal

Dear Geners,
I am new at this and could use some help. I am tying to locate any information
about my great grandparents who emigrated from Germany to Montreal in the
1870s era. They went on to start a skirt hoop factory until a flood ruined
there business and then moved to Boston, MA. Their names were Hermann
(1839-1914) and Hudga Hirshfield (not sure of her date of birth). I know that
Herrmann was born in Germany and died in Manhattan.

Any hints on how I can find out more information would be helpful

Thanks so much
