    1. Fw: [DONEGALEIRE] Ship ELIZA into Delaware, 1790
    2. Records
    3. The newspaper Belfast Newsletter from 1737-1800 has been indexed by the University of S Louisiana http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/cgi-bin/belfst/QueryForm1.cgi The data retrieved by a search is sometimes difficult to understand but you can generally get the gist of it. I have Dysarts in Derry who were shipping at the same time. The info in the actual paper was a small ad giving the ship's name, captain and the agents or owners and occasionally a description of the ship. There are lots of entries for 'Eliza'- whether they are all the same ship you'll have to decide. The American voyages are there and an earlier account of being captured by the French. Same ship? You most probably won't find a passenger list on this side of the Atlantic. There was no requirement to keep one. You might find running a search of the archive on the passenger names brings up something in addition. In the UK the actual papers are available in the British Library newspaper library in London and an extensive set in the Linenhall Library in Belfast and the Central Library Belfast. Rachel
