Hello friends, I found the following on a GeneaNet website. Will someone please translate it for me? " Il a migré vers les USA avec son frère et d'autres issus de Plaine et ses environs par le "Phoenix" partant de Rotterdam. Il arrive aux USA le 15.09.1749. " I know it has to do with emigration but some of the meaning is lost to me (a non speaker of French). Thanks very much for any help.
