Others have suggested this, too, thank you -- although I believe I have looked at all the passenger lists everywhere. I can, of course, find James McNamara of the right age frame, but if there's no one with him, no way to know he's mine. I can't remember specifically at the moment, but it seems to me that Mulvey isn't all that numerous, and I don't believe I have ever found another Sarah Mulvey (have looked for her traveling with Thomas Mulvey, none of those). I have tracked the 3 McNamara families in Wheeling in the same time frame, but so far, no cigar as far as linking them up. Thanks! Nancy
