The long-awaited papers arrived today. NOT the FRY will; I'm still waiting for that. But Peter KIEFFER's will with his signature. Although the signature on the passenger list and the signature on the will are about 40 years apart, I'm reasonably certain that they were written by the same man. In fact, I'm confident enough to hire a German genealogist for a hundred dollars. I have NO idea what kind of records are available. I don't know if German immigration papers would show his parents' names or not, but I surely hope so. Anyway, it "looks like" he was the immigrant!!! Kinda exciting, isn't it??!!! The book that contains this information reads: "At the Courthouse of Philadelphia, September 11th, 1738. Present The Honourable George Thomas, Esqr, Lt Gov....The Palatines whose Names are underwritten, imported in the Ship Robert and Alice, of Dublin, Walter Goodman, Comr, from Rotterdam, but last from Dover in England, did this day take and subscribe the Oaths to the Government." Please know that I will certainly advise you of anything new that comes from this research. :)
