I agree with Fletcher - an interesting discussion might be to show where the immigrants from a particular ship eventually settled. These immigrants traveled as groups of families or as members of a town or congregation. I had hopes that by doing this study I might someday find a location in Germany as point of origin. I started taking the names of the New Hanover congregation and comparing them with ship passenger lists but never finished the study. Here is what I have from my beginning notes though. I WAS ONLY LOOKING AT THE SHIPS QUEEN ELIZABETH AND SHIP ROBERT & ALICE. All these people are in New Hanover Lutheran records. Maybe someday I'll finish this. ALT, Queen Elizabeth 1738 BAEHR/Bayer, Q.E. 1738 BRANDT, Q.E. 1738 BIELLER/BIERLE, 1744 Robert & Alice BUFFELL 1748 Robert & Alice BENDER/BENER , 1746, 1747, 1753 and 1756 KOCH/COX 1747 Queen Elizabeth, 1767 GUNCKELL,KONKELL, CUNCKEL, KUNKEL 1749 Q.E. EICHELBERGER/EIGLEBOURNER 1763 KALB,KOLP,KOLB 1745,1748, 1751, 1760 EAKERS/YEEKS in church records ICKES 1738 Q.E. SILVIUS from Q. E. had a child bapt. Jordan Lutheran Church - can't find my notes but I think I remember this is Northampton Co. With my Ickes people there is also a few years when no records are found right after their immigration. But, did they really expect that 250 years later all of us would be frantically searching for them? Did they think that their records would be important to anyone but themselves? Of course not. Hope other will keep up this discussion...and if anyone has point of origin in Germany, please include that also. Barb
