My ancestors came in the early 1800s and I have not found any ship's lists that includes them. Were there records then that have been found and transcribed? Is it always the case that a person's exact destination would be recorded? I also have ancestors who arrived in the late 1800s/early 1900s and on those passenger lists they were required to give their last known address, where they were going, who was "sponsoring" them and how much money they had. Was this also required back in the mid-1800s? Jeanne (Raitt Flye)

Just like censues, requirements change over time. Not every passenger list has been transcribed; not all were perfect, i.e. formated of requirements. Off line I receive this for a possible place to seach in Canada: "http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/canada/ Just scroll down the page and look for "Finding Ancestors on Canadian Passenger Lists" There's a list with links for ship arrivals BEFORE 1865 and ship arrivals AFTER 1865. I hope this helps!" ~Valerie --- JEANNIE FLYE <jflye@verizon.net> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Valerie Brown" <vwbrown08@yahoo.com> > To: <nydelawa@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:11 PM > Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] For the Scots, why Delaware > County? > > > For my relations to give "Bovina" as their > destination > > on the 1851 ship's passenger list implies > intention. > > My ancestors came in the early 1800s and I have > not found any ship's > lists that includes them.
