Hi Kay, The passenger list of the Loyal Judith 1742 " is probably found online in several places. The first places I like to look for Palatines {an umbrella term for pre- 19th Century German immigrants to the U.S. is www.palproject.org. This site contains a lot of historical information and research strategies for locating these early immigrants in Germany. There is also a link to various transcribed passenger lists, including "your" ship http://www.progenealogists.com/palproject/pa/1742ljud.htm Since Martiun Brandt is listed right above a person who is documented as coming from Friedelsheim in the Palatinate [Pfalz], you could begin your search by checking that town and the neighboring parishes for your ancestor. Another good resource is the Palatines to America Society . Their website is www.palam.org. Good luck! Baerbel " I'd like to jump in here about my ancester, Martin Brandt. He came from Germany in 1742. Is there a site where I might find his records that far back?? Any hope of finding the ship Manifest?? The ship was the Loyal Judity.

From their homepage: "CastleGarden.org is an educational project of The Battery Conservancy. This free site offers access to an extraordinary database of information on 12 million immigrants from 1820 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 100 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period." http://www.castlegarden.org/ .^_^. --- On Tue, 1/12/10, Lorri <[email protected]> wrote: what is the castle garden site? lorri For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com Please visit and participate in our new forum http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message or all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com Please visit and participate in our new forum ttp://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message For all the latest News, please visit our Homepage: http://www.germanyroots.com Please visit and participate in our new forum http://www.germanyroots.com/phpBB3/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
