I wish I knew where to look, Mary Jo. I hope someone does. Ship manifests are difficult!

Does anyone know how to locate the passenger list for the Planter? I have been trying to, but have had no luck. Evidently there is such a record (somewhere) because the information appears to be very reliable. Someone must have located the Sparrow records, unless it was just information handed down in the family, and I doubt that.

Several crossings of the 'Planter' are mentioned in the list on this website: href="http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nengships1620-1640.shtml">http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nengships1620-1640.shtml  > > I wish I knew where to look, Mary Jo.

I just googled "Planter passenter list" and got a number of references. I haven't explored any of them, but they look promising. Simply go to http://www.google.com and then search for Planter passenger list Good luck Bobbie Quoting Roy <royalty@pakachoag.com>: > > > Several crossings of the 'Planter' are mentioned in the list on > this > website: > > href="http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nengships1620-1640.shtml">http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nengships1620-1640.shtml > >  > > > I wish I knew where to look, Mary Jo.
