Hi Everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ted and Sue for there time and effort in trying to find information for me that I wasn't able to obtain on the ship that my Grandmother and her Father ( my Great-Grandfather ) arrived on at Ellis Island, NY. In being a member of this list, I have found it to be one of the most amazing and informative sites on the web. There are so many of us out there trying to search for our ancestors and history of our roots. Genealogy is such a wonderful thing to pass on in our families. My Grandmother lived to the age of 95 ( 1990 ) , and I can say that I asked so many questions over the years to have what I have today. My mother is still alive at the age of 86 and she has filled in gaps that I can no longer ask my Grandmother for. I was fortunate to locate 2 excellent researchers on the web that Have found information for me from my Grandfather's town in Atina, Italy and my Grandmother's area of Naples, Italy. I am so overwhelmed to find that there is family still alive in Naples, Italy and I have made contact with them. So to everyone out there please............... TALK TO YOUR FAMILY NOW! Once it they are gone, it goes with them. Try to keep paper with you and a camera. You never know when you will need it. I still have more searching to do in my case, but I only wish that I could get a picture of this ship SS MARCARAS. I love to read all the posts to this site and we are all searching for our families history. Good Luck to everyone in there searching and again....... Thank you Ted and Sue.......2 of the most knowledgeable and helpful people I have come to know. I love your dedication! Debbie Debbie TPower5514@aol.com

Hi Listers, Looking for sketches or photos of two ships which I know my ancestors came over on: Edward Everett and the Jeanne Alice (which took them to New Orleans in 1865).

Searching for source of WIlliam Cain of Bladen County, NC. Headstone reads; William Cain - Old Man, Died 1791. Son James' RevWar Pension Petition reports James Cain born Sept/Oct 1750, Little PeeDee, SC. William's son John apparently older. William Cain with John and James first show up in the 1770 Tax Lists for Bladen County, NC. Two apparent younger sons William, Jr. and Samuel show up in later tax lists. DNA analyses suggest Kilrush, Co. Clare, Ireland as family origin.

I was hoping that someone could help me in finding the ship's log forThe George Washington's voyage from Liverpool to Boston. They set sail on March 28th, 1857 and arrived in Boston April 20, 1857. Supposedly four people died on the trip, and I am trying to find out who they were. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Leslie

Hi Moreen, In the 1906 Prairie census District: MB Macdonald District (#4) Subdistrict: 05 (Townships 5, 6, in ranges 11, 12 west) Page 34 Details: Schedule 1 Microfilm T-18355 12 273 Foidart Georgina Head F W 50 13 273 Foidart Larence Son M S 20 14 273 Foidart Julian Daughter F S 19 15 273 Foidart Julia Son M S 21 16 273 Franc Simon hired man M S 20 It indicates an emigration year of 1888 ........however, In the 1901 census, this looks like it may be them, but the emigration year is listed as 1891 with naturalization in 1898, however, Gustav is listed as being born in Manitoba in 1885, which makes no sense, so it must be 1895. Arnold Foder 63 Catherine B Foder 44 Julia V A Foder 15 Lorent M C Foder 14 Julian C C Foder 12 Gustav C L Foder 6 1901 Census of Canada Page Information District: MB LISGAR (#7) Subdistrict: Lorne C-4 Page 5 Details: Schedule 1 Microfilm T-6432 Name: Julian C C Foder Gender: Female Marital Status: Single Age: 12 Birth Date: 29 Sep 1887 BirthPlace: Belgium Relation to Head of House: Daughter Father's Name: Arnold Mother's Name: Catherine B Immigration Year: 1891 Racial or Tribal Origin: Belgium Nationality: Canadian Religion: Roman Catholic Province: Manitoba District: Lisgar District Number: 7 Sub-District: Lorne Sub-District Number: C-4 Family Number: 44 Page: 5 Foder Arnold M Head M Mar 5 1838 63 Foder Catherine B.

M Son S Jan 5 1885? 6 So, you have narrowed the emigration to the period 1888-1891 +/- ;-} Interesting how the last name went from Foder to Foidart . . but more so how mum went from Catherine B, to Georgina. Arnold has died between 1901 and 1906 and the family moved to the Swan Lake area. Canadian records for this period are not indexed, so it will require reading microfilm. There were no direct sailings from Belgium to Canada at that time, so unless they arrived via a US port, they would have been transmigrants via Britain. This would probably mean sailing from Liverpool, and there are lots of ships to check. They most likely arrived via Quebec. Your email address suggests that you are either in Ontario or Quebec, so check here to find an institution near you, with the microfilms you need to check. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-903-e.html The LDS Family History Centres also have copies of the films, their numbers . . http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#lds Good luck, Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/ At 08:17 PM 2006-09-04 -0300, Moreen Torpy wrote: >Hello, > >I am searching my family tree, and specifically the arrival of my >grandmother from Belgium circa 1900.

Hi, My name is Janna Craig and how I got this is beyond me? I have been researching my Watson family roots, this information has nothing to do with me or my family.

Hello, I am searching my family tree, and specifically the arrival of my grandmother from Belgium circa 1900. Her name was Julienne Foidart, originating in Liege. She settled in Manitoba, in the Swan Lake or Bruxelles area. If you have any information on this, I would greatly appreciate knowing everything you have. For example: if she was traveling alone or with others her mode of passage (first class or steerage) her departure and arrival dates her age, if there is a record of that anything else relevant to my research thank you for your help. Moreen Torpy

From The Constitution or Cork Morning Post, 6 September 1822 - LOSS OF THE PACKET-SHIP LIVERPOOL We have already announced the loss, on the banks of Newfoundland, of the packet-ship Liverpool, which sailed from New York from [sic] Liverpool on her first voyage on the 16th ult. The whole of the passengers and crew are saved, though their sufferings must have been severe, as they were exposed to weather for five days in open boats, when they were taken up by a fishing boat, and conveyed to St. John's, Newfoundland. Captain Lee and the crew, with one passenger, have returned to New York ; and the other passengers have come to England in the Dart, which arrived off Bristol on Saturday, 24th inst. The only particulars yet known of the lamentable event, are contained in the following extract of a letter, received at Liverpool on Monday last, from one of the passengers. "Brig Dart, off Bristol, 24th August, 1822. "The Liverpool was lost on the 25th ult. on the banks of Newfoundland, by running foul of an island of ice, but all hands saved and put into St. John's ; thence most of the passengers proceeded hither in the Dart, of this place, but a passenger (an infant child) having died on the passage, we are compelled to wait here the visitation of the quarantine officer, which must delay us from landing until to-morrow. "Captain lee sailed on the same day with us (6th Aug.) in a schooner for New York, with the whole of the crew and one of the passengers. "The vessel only floated two hours, and nothing was saved except the clothes we had on and a little specie. We were five days in the open boats, and on the 7th arrived at St. John's, having been taken up by a fishing-boat on the fifth day." The following is a list of the passengers: Mr. N. T. Heard and family, of New York ; Mr. John Simpson, of London ; Mr. Robert Mather, of Liverpool ; Mr. Wm. Christie, of Jamaica ; Mr. Samuel Wright, of Savannah ; Mr. William Castle, of Montreal ; Mr. Thomas Wright, of England, and Mr., G. A. Northedge, of Montreal.

Hi Listers For nearly 30 years I've been trying to find out how my grandfather, Owen McCarthy born about 1867, arrived here in Australia. He came from Kilkenny, Ireland and arrived here around 1900. His parents were John McCarthy & Elizabeth O'Neill. Just looking at some other listings posted here I'm now wondering if he came via America or New Zealand or some other place. On one document his first name is given as Eugenio, the Italian version of Eoghan or Eoin and sometimes Eugene. Any help would be greatly appreciated Tom Sydney, Australia

We do have the newspaper extractions for the sailing ships' arrivals at the port of Quebec, for the whole year though. Those begin here http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/ships1819.htm and there three more pages. They were a bit illegible in some places as you will notice by the [ ] and ? In early June I notice ships with settlers from Sunderland and Shields for example, which might be good possibilities. They must have died after they arrived, for if they'd died at sea they would have been buried at sea. Have you checked the Quebec / Montreal papers yourself for death notices ? I've seen such notices which indicate "recently arrived" or "who arrived xx date on the brig xxxx" for example. Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

Hello Timothy, It is a good thing the US Boston record survives, as curiously, there is no Canadian passenger list for that particular arrival. Reel # Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information Remarks -- IVERNIA Liverpool, England 1907-06-11 / Queenstown, Ireland 1907-06-12 Boston, MA 1907-06-20 No Canadian Passenger List . . although it is very obvious there were a lot of passengers destined to Canada. The keeping of records for ONLY Canadian destined passengers arriving at US ports was still in its infancy in 1907, and they are rather bare-bones . . . example, some I've transcribed for Philadelphia 1906 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/philadelphia1906.htm . . they are listed in a continuous thread rather than separate manifest sheets for each ship arrival. When the "Canada" database was created, they may have simply missed observing where that ship began, or, the agent missed including those passengers in his report ! The other Boston arrivals for the period are on microfilm number T-514 ........... to add another observation . . although in 1907 there are 125 ship arrivals at Boston, for Canada destined passengers, there is a big gap between June 14th and June 23rd, so it certainly looks like a case of records which totally missed being filmed. On the same microfilm, the Baltimore records have a gap between June 14th and 27th too. Someone must have been very careless. The originals were all destroyed after micofilming, in 1949. There are British outbound lists, but they are unindexed and unfilmed, so require a personal visit to Kew, or the hiring of a British researcher. You can read more about British lists here British Passenger Lists by Debbie Beavis http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/ukrecords.html Fortunately, for transmigrants, the name of the ship bringing them to Britain for onward passage is sometimes given, although it was not required. You might be in luck though, as from 1906, the name of the steamship line was a requirement. It wouldn't be definitive proof of which feeder-ship, but if the ship name itself is not stated, you should learn the British port of arrival which you could follow-up by researching the shipping arrival reports for that port, in a newspaper published in / near that port. I'm not sure which port they may have sailed from on the continent, nor which British port of arrival, but as I'd mentioned above, you may learn the details by starting with the British outbound list. The researcher would be able to go straight to the box(es) for Liverpool for June 11th 1907 departures, so it may not cost too much for the records, however, there were 72 1st class, 270 2nd class and 1,691 3rd class passengers on board. The Winnipeg destined Galicians are likely grouped though. You can begin to connect the dots if you simply learn the name of the shipping line for the feeder-ship, as we have them here on the Fleets page http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/index.htm as well as grouped on four "Feeder Ships" pages http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/feeders.html Good luck !

Jeffrey...try searching the NY Times Archives for that info. You have the name of the ship and the date it arrived, so you can look at the newspapers around that date.
