I am new to the list and I have traced my Holsomback ancestors to North Carolina in 1763 an in South Carolina in 1772. Actually I think they arrived with the Palatine Germans in Carolina Colony in the about 1760 but I have no idea where in Germany they came from or what ships their ports of arrival or the ships they arrived in. Any and all help would be fantastic. I have spent 10 years researching my family along with over 200 researchers of our surname, we have a site on MyFamily where we share information, but alas we have not found where our family entered the country.
