    3. I happen to be following a red herring at the moment which might help. There are lots of sources you can consult, but you were very specific - looking for ships lists. Guy Grannum's guide to the PRO "Tracing Your West Indian Ancestors" lists the PRO location for the land grants given to Loyalists settled in the Bahamas. I realize these are not ship lists, but at least you would get some names and dates. The Loyalists scattered - many to Jamaica, some to the Bahamas via East Florida, also to St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Dominica etc. The events of the evacuations were chaotic and people went where they could get passage. A good place to start would be in the Loyalist Claims for reparation of losses - these documents give details which might include ships used and dates of arrival at their destination. Tian
