I have no idea what Mary Pauls parents were named. She was my great grandmother on my maternal side. I have one note from a cousin--no longer mentally capable to tell me anything--that her parents lived the rest of their lives in Erie Co. Not much help. I am almost sure that she was of German descent, and her parents were most likely from there, but I have no idea what ship they would have come over on, or when. I have tried a lot of cousins, and they know less than I do. I have visited her grave, and the library and historical society in the town she lived in for many years, and they had no information on her. I am intrigued with your idea--but how would I go about finding a ships name? I am open to any ideas. Grace
