Beverly Thought you might want to check out the Olive Tree genealogy index for passengers. It begins with the ships with Columbus and Magellan (sp.?) and records for some ships in the early 1600's. It interesting to find there are list for convicts also being sent to the United States and foreign islands such as Jamaica and other islands that we think of exotic today. I don't know if it could help you but thought it may help. Address is rootsweb.com/~ote/ship_1800.htm, I think or just be in Olive Tree Genealogy. You may want to put index to passengers list also.
