Thank you very much, Gordon, for posting links to Mr. Rupp's books on early emigrant names. I have one question. In both editions of Rupp's book, many of the names on the lists of emigrants are starred with an asterisk. I could not find an explanation for what this meant. Is it an indication that this person was not "qualified" after landing (I take it that meant signing an oath of allegiance)? Anita Camplese
