Thanks for the info, Albert. I have not had any luck with finding my gggrandfather, Nelson Ryland, on any of the ship lists. He came to America from Ireland ca 1825. Good luck in your search.

THE SKETCHER Pioneers' Jubilee Old Colonists' Picnic (From THE QUEENSLANDER, May 19, 1899) The happy idea of having a reunion of the surviving passengers, with their descendants and friends, of the three of Dr Lang's immigrant vessels-the Fortitude, Chaseley, and Lima- which arrived at Moreton Bay in 1849, was carried into effect on May-day with very great success, The arrival of those vessels, with their 700 passengers, marked a very important event in the history of Queensland; and the idea of celebrating the jubilee of the occasion was taken up with a great deal of enthusiasm. Appropriately enough, the holiday of 1st May was the anniversary of .......... www.halenet.com.au/~jvbryant/fortlet1.html#anchor545301 PASSENGERS BY THE LANG SHIPS, the sujoined lists of passengers by the Fortitude Ship Fortitude, 750 tons burthen, Captain Christmas, medical superintendent, Dr Chalinor, arrived 20th January 1849.

I think many time that records are missing. Here in Argentina in the Archivo General de la Nación are a lot of historic information as for example ship list. That records I don't remember when they started but I think in 1825 the records were kept. Some of my ancestors were arrived Buenos Aires in 1849 and they have the complete list of the people coming in those ships but other of my ancestors came some years later and the records for 1868 are missing. Ohter way to obtain information is from old newspapers Regards Alberto
