One other item. Quakers will not be listed on ships coming into English ports prior to the Revolution War since they were British citizens. Only other European citizens including Mennonites will be on ship passenger lists. When searching for Anabaptists in Europe you may find the family traveled to different areas prior to crossing the Atlantic. They especially traveled from southern France to Switzerland then down the Rhine in Germany Prussia and France and to ports in lowlands many stopped in England prior to crossing the Atlantic.

If your immigrant ancestors were English, Welsh, etc in the right time period, look for Quaker records. If they were German or Swiss (or perhaps you've traced them to a Dutch port), Mennonite or another anabapism church is more likely. Another helpful explanation. Thanks for taking time to write, Karl.
