    3. I dont know whether this has been mentioned before but trawling through a site which has thousands of books etc for free downloading or reading I have found literally dozens of entries listing names of people which may be of use to members. If you go to www.archive.org you can enter any search details, I entered names england and selected all media types and had 258 hits such as http://www.archive.org/stream/emigrantsfromeng00bost#page/13/mode/2up Emigrants from England 1773-1776 "The following lists of emigrants were discovered by Gerald Fothergill, esq... among Tresury records in the Public recjord office...and were secured for Register publication by the Society's Committee on english research. The lists comprise about six thousand names." or maybe http://www.archive.org/details/originallistsofp00hottuoft "The original lists of persons of quality; emigrants; religious exiles; political rebels; serving men sold for a term of years; apprentices; children stolen; maidens pressed; and others who went from Great Britain to the American Plantations, 1600-1700 : with their ages and the names of the ships in which they embarked, and other interesting particulars; from mss. preserved in the State Paper Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office, England" There appears to be a wealth of information on the site, you just need some time to search the lists. Happy hunting Laurie Bridger
