Hi, I am looking for information on the ship the SS African Star, and wonder if you know anything about her? I know that she sailed to South Africa in 1948, and thats about all I know. If you can help with any details whatsoever, please contact me. Many thanks Maureen Firmani

Do you know anything about a Ship called Eliza, that sailed from Plymouth England on Novvember 30 1852 arrived at Portland,Victoria Australia on April 9 1853, August Bollhoefer was suppose to have been on that Ship, but I can't find Him from 1853 to 1858, 1858 is when the family says that He had came to the United States from Germany,so far I have had no luck in finding Him and His family.I do know that in 1860 He had gotten married in Ohio, Had 4 Children there and then had bought property in Grant County Indiana in 1868,then moved in the House He had built there in 1869, and had lived there until His death in1924.This Man's name was August Bollhoefer.Would appreciate any information. Thanks beckysmusic@sbcglobal.net

Hi Sue, Do you have any information on what shipping line, and possibly what ships, might have sailed/steamed from the Russian Lithuania port of Kaliningrad, across the Baltic Sea to any port on the east coast of Norway?

Good Evening, I am looking for some information on an Ancestor whom I think came to the states in about the 1760. His name is Nicholas Phillips born 1752. I have found one person that is a possible match who came here in 1761and landed in Frederick Co., Maryland. Does anyone know how to get more information on the early settlers? I am not honestly sure if this is my Nicholas or not. My Nicholas settled in Virginia and had 2 Sons John Nicholas (born 1774 Virginia)and Peter. They married 2 sisters Mary Polly and Sarah Wilson daughters of Ebenezer Wilson. I haven't a clue as to what ship he came over on either. If anybody has any ideas, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Barbara Ann Phillips bphil1@earthlink.net

Hi All Am trying to find when and how an ancestor, Elizabeth Harriet Gee, emigrated from the UK to eventually arrive in North Ogen, Weber County, Utah, USA. She was born in England in Dec 1875 and according to the US census arrived in the US in 1907. The following year she married William Youngman (who was also born in England) in North Ogden. On the 1930 census Elizabeth stated that she was born c1881 and William c1876. The story goes that William emigrated to Canada with his brother but they were sent back to England. Their second attempt to enter the States through Canada was successful. However I do not know if Elizabeth arrived the same way. Without knowing the ports of departure or arrival how do I go about finding any records, and what are my chances of success? Chris

Hi Chris, At 11:12 AM 2006-08-03 +0100, Chris Moore wrote: >Hi All > >Am trying to find when and how an ancestor, Elizabeth Harriet Gee, >emigrated from the UK to eventually arrive in North Ogen, Weber County, >Utah, USA. > >She was born in England in Dec 1875 and according to the US census arrived >in the US in 1907. The following year she married William Youngman (who >was also born in England) in North Ogden. On the 1930 census Elizabeth >stated that she was born c1881 and William c1876. I think you have a lot of info from the census records (I looked at 1910 & 1920 too, and they agree 100% with 1930). Don't forget that census info is age next birthday, so where they have Harriet ca. 1882, that seems to squarely place her birth year at 1881. People were known to lie, even on marriage certificates. My ggrandfather was 10 years older than his wife, but lost 4 years for his marriage and the birth of their children, but he gained them back on his death certificate. If you have proof she was born in 1875, then maybe she told William she was younger . . amazing that she remembered consistantly for so many years . . great memory. The 1930 census does state that she was 26 and William 31, when they married. Simple subtraction makes that 1908, however seeing it was "age next birthday" for the census, it could be 1907 ! As they both consistantly show emigration year as 1907, they may have been married in England, so you may be looking for an Elizabeth Youngman, rather than a Gee. >The story goes that William emigrated to Canada with his brother but they >were sent back to England. Their second attempt to enter the States >through Canada was successful. >However I do not know if Elizabeth arrived the same way. > >Without knowing the ports of departure or arrival how do I go about >finding any records, and what are my chances of success? It would be strange that they would be sent back from Canada, as they were British, but they may have been denied entry by the US for something such as LPC. ...LPC, stands for "Likely Public Charge." The LPC exclusion was introduced to US immigration law in 1891 and was the most common cause of detention and grounds for exclusion/deportation. Immigrants were most likely considered a likely public charge if they had little money AND no family, friends, or prospects, OR if they were disabled in some way that would prevent them from earning their own living. The majority of LPC exclusions were overcome during the Special Inquiry process, usually when friends, family, or some Immigrant Aid organization came and vouched for the person or posted a bond for them. ... My suggestion is to work backward to the Canadian record. As you have some indication that at least William arrived via Canada, then go to the CAN-US border records, the St. Albans lists. Begin with the index for the passenger manifests for the CAN-US border records, the St. Albans lists. US via Canada http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#St.Albans M-1461 Soundex Index to Canadian Border Entries through the St. Albans, VT, District After you locate the NARA microfilm number, make sure you check the link called "Immigration Microfilm CATalog Converter" to check the LDS film numbers for the same microfilm. The card index will tell you lots of details should you locate William & / or Elizabeth. If you find him / them, you will be pointed toward the arrival manifest NARA M-1464, which will tell you the ship and port of arrival, so then you can also go after the Canadian record for the same arrival. If they did arrive via Canada in transit to the US, you stand to be able to acquire 3 documents for him / them, because with ship name, British port of departure (probably Liverpool) and date of departure, you can then take a trip to Kew to search their British outbound lists. Those are original documents, unindexed and unfilmed, so with specific information even if you have to hire a researcher if you can't go to London yourself, it will keep the cost down. :-} Both the Canadian arrival records and the US border index and passenger manifests are available through the LDS, so you should be able to have them brought to your local LDS Family History Centre. You can be thankful you are searching for Youngman and / or Gee, rather than Smith or Jones. :-} Good luck, Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

So you are looking for Canadian arrivals between 1876 and 1907? The National Archives of Canada (NAC) holds immigration records from 1865 to 1935. Unfortunately the records before 1925 are not indexed. To find a passenger you will need to know an exact date of arrival. There is no easy way to search Canadian arrival records for the unindexed period other than reading microfilm. Ships are on the reel, in order of arrival. You can find the details at this URL http://www.archives.ca/02/020202_e.html If you want to order filmed passenger lists (remember they aren't indexed!), a list of NAC microfilm numbers for passenger lists to Canada 1865-1922 can be found at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_can1865.shtml If you are patient, you will soon (?) be able to search these unindexed years!

Here are some "confirmed connections" for Norwegians on that September 9th 1870 sailing of the Wilson Line feeder-ship HERO http://www.norwayheritage.com/t_corresp.asp?id=309 Seeing it was 1870, I would be tempted to leap to an assumption that she arrived via Quebec, probably Reel Number Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information Shipping Line Special Group(s) Remarks C-4526 PERUVIAN Liverpool, England 1870-09-15 / Londonderry, Ireland 1870-09-16 Quebec, Que. 1870-09-26 (MTL) Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line) List Number: 110; Captain William H.

The reels will include all years mixed in together, but they are NOT in strict alphabetical order, so make sure you scroll right through until you find who you are searching. As Form 30A reels contain ALL Canadian arrivals 1919 to 1924, they will also include those who arrived via a US port, but stated their intention to proceed directly to Canada. Passenger arrival records - 1919-1924 [Form 30A] http://www.genealogy.gc.ca/10/100804_e.html National Archives of Canada - Form 30A reels http://www.genealogy.gc.ca/10/10080401_e.html T-15027 Fitt, Lancelot R. to Fliegel, Ruth Surname groupings: Fitt, Fi, Fitzgerald, Fitzgibbon, Fitzherbert, Fitzmaurice, Fitzpatrick, Fi-Fitzsimons-Fitzsimmons interfiled, Fj, Fl, Flanagan, Flannigan-Flanigan-Fi interfiled, Fl, Fleming, Flett-Fleury-Fl interfiled, Fletcher, Fl, Fliegel T-15133 Moore, Charles William to Morgan, Sydney Surname groupings: Moore, Mo-Moorhouse interfiled, Moran, Mo, Morey, Morgan National Archives of Canada - Borrow Microfilm - ILL (procedure) http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html The LDS now have copies of the post-1900 Canadian arrivals, so check here for links and details http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#lds It is important to know whether your passengers remained in Canada (see next para) or were just in transit. If they were in transit to New Zealand (by rail across Canada, to Vancouver) I'm not 100% sure whether they'll appear on the Form 30A . . even the National Library & Archives of Canada doesn't address that. I'm assuming they were British Subjects, so _if_ they were headed to NZ via Canada they might appear on those records as it was a long trip across the country, so they may have been "landed." Passengers proceeding directly to US destinations from Canadian ports during 1919-1924, will not appear on a Form 30A record. For US destined passengers, the St. Albans Lists would be a better source of information. http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#St.Albans FYI, Halifax is the capital city of the Province of Nova Scotia.

John Joseph Fitzsimons, born 29 October 1887 died 4 December 1949. Elizabeth Moorehead, born 23 February 1891, died 9 June 1968 Angela Josephine Fitzsimons, 20 January 1919

I am trying to locate information, including type and movement on this vessel. I have my Grandfathers Royal Naval records which show he was on The "Royal Adelaide" 1880-1881 [1881 UK census confirms this] and the "Nelson" from 1881 - 1885 and was discharged and paid off in Sydney. If any lister enlighten me on either of these vessels or their movement, it would be appreciated. Family papers suggest he met his future wife in Rockhampton in 1884 before marrying her in 1885.

Does anyone have any information/ passenger lists etc on the SS Calfornia 1893 from Glascow I think. Not sure if it arrived in NY or Boston. I'd like to find out once and for all who was on that ship. I'm particularly intereseted in surnames of Piispanen, Larson, Nelson, Nikkarikosi, Nikula, and others traveling from Finland. Also the SS Austrian : Passengers from Ireland, particular surnames of O'Donnell, Bradely, Doherty, and those from Co Donegal and Co Cork. Again I'm not sure where it arrived. I was told Boston, but could be NY around 1883-1900 time frame. I know those are a lot of years but I can't seem to find any help that would shorten that gap. Thank you. Barbara
