Hello Shari, I checked the Germans to America 1850-1874 CD. I found one Ballantyne and one family of Ballantine's, along with one poorly transcribed individual that I have included just in case. Maybe they will be of some help... at least it's another source searched. Sandra in Oregon Passenger's Name: A.

He was in New York as of 1869, so if anyone can do a look-up for me, I would be really grateful. Thanks to all, Shari
