Hi All, I posted note to this list several weeks ago. I've been trying to find out more about the Ship "ARTHUR" and the names of the 30 Otterstadt, Bavaria Families that sailed on that Ship from Bremerhaven to Quebec in 1852. Many of these families settled in the Waterloo Ontario area. Yesterday, from the Catholic Diocese Archives in Speyer, Germany a list arrived in the mail! What follows is a list of the Surnames on this document and source information. German Title of Document:Namen der Teilnehmer an der Massenauswanderung von 1852 die mit dem englischen Schiff "ARTHUR" in Quebec ankamen.
