Per records from Ellis Island, my great uncle, Peter Ben, arrived there on 6/13/1921 out of the port in LeHavre. He gave his last place of residence as Jedlinka, Slovakia & his ethnicity as Slovakian. He travelled to Cannondale, Conn. where his half-brother, my grandfather, Michael Ben(n) & family lived. I am unable to trace him after that; he was 22 yrs old upon arrival & single. Anone with any info regarding him, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks much. M. Carner

Still searching for Clark family who according to tradition and census records arrived NYC or perhaps Montreal some time in 1852. Goodhand Clark and family left hamlet of Inch, town of Dunmanway, County Cork, Ireland to follow relatives who had earlier settled in or around Rochester, NY. Goodhand died coming across the pond - His widow, Eleanor Broadfield Clark, born 1813 and following children made the voyage and settled on the Genesee River in town of Caneadea, Allegany Co, NY: Goodhand, born 1825 John Thomas b 1833 Barbara Jane b 1835 or 1837 George b 1839 Catherine b 1842 William b 1844 Ellen b 1847 ELIZA ANNE b 24 Jun 1849 Please contact me at RJThoden@yahoo.com if you have any information on this family. --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em.

ok ya'll...i don't know what to do next. I found a possible ancestor at castlegarden.org and would like to view the passenger listing. castle garden says "William Hart, age 26, arrived 12 Jun 1849, occupation Mason" also listed is "Unk Hart" female, aged 26, arriving same port, ship, and date of arrival. castle garden also lists the Port of departure as "Glasgow" and arrival port as New York. I have looked at several sites trying to find out more about the ship "Pursuit", but have not been successful. Steve Morse's One Step, The olivetree, and the ships list. I've also googled...<sigh> Does anyone know if there is a passenger listing for the Pursuit online. or can anyone do a lookup and see if they can find any children attached to this couple. There should be two boys..one under the age of 3, and another newborn...or to be born with in a few days of thier arrival. I'd also like to know thier original point of origin or anything else that might be listed about them. Why would they be coming from (through) Glasgow when it is believed the family came from yorkshire, Eng. thanks for your thoughts and assistance, pj

Would any lister have any record on the SS "TUFUA", it was given as the address of my uncle Samuel Chambers [occupation; Storekeeper} when married in 1910 in Sydney Harbour. I could assume he was part of the crew, but I do not know if he was or not. Wether the vessel was in dry dock, docked or had just arrived is unknown. Regards Kevin Nicholas Central Qld

Tina The NYTimes of Jan 9, 1954 lists the arrival on Sunday, Jan 8 of: "Ship Elbe, (Hamb.) fm Hamburg, iron to N.R. & H. Weed. Dec. 27, lat. 40. long. 67, passed a number of planks, and some hogsheads painted red. Has experienced heavy westerly gales." but it does not mention passengers. There is also a ship from Bremen: "Bark Alfred, (Brem) Pundt, Bremen 77 ds., and Ramsgate, England, 47 ds., in ballast and 179 passengers to Meyer & Stucken. Experienced heavy W. gales; split sails, stove bulwarks, and received other damage." I also checked the Jan 10 paper in case they came in after the paper was published and came up with this one. "Ship Herschel, (Hamb) Meyer, Hamburg 51 ds., mdse and 264 passengers to Schmidt & Balchen. Jan. 3, lat. 29 30, lon. 67 40 schr. ____, of Philadelphia, with both masts gone, had jurymasts rigged, and was lumber loaded.

Does anyone here by any chance have the CD called "New Orleans, 1820-1850 Passenger and Immigration Lists"? I have not been able to find this known record on the web, and I just have one lookup that I need to find from 1832. If anyone might have this and be willing to do one search for me, for a known family name and year and day...I would appreciate it. Thanks. Paul

Hello Linda, I found the ship at the excellent website www.CastleGarden.org which contains a free data base with the names of passengers and their ships that arrived at Castle Garden, NY City, which was the port of entry at NY from 1830 to 1892 when it moved to Ellis Island. Does anyone on the list know a similar website for passengers to Boston? George Campbell

Hello, Can you please tell me where I can find the list of passengers and their details on the last voyage of the Berlin in 1907 Graeme

That is, (s)he would have embarked on a "feeder ship" from Sweden (or Norway) to a British east coast port, then train to Liverpool to embark on a transatlantic ship.

For Quebec arrivals, individuals might be found here http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-504-e.html . . but there is no such database for St. John or Halifax The quarantine list could very well provide details of the reason for the persons being quarantined. Sometimes it was as simple as one or two children of a family with measles, so the whole family would be held together whether they were sick or not. I'm sure that was more comforting for the children being quarantined. By 1911, especially if the "extra" list was filmed (rather than just margin notes) the discharge date should be noted beside their name(s). I'm not 100% positive whether the St. John quarantine station was still on Partridge Island in 1911 or whether they would have been at a down-town hospital. You will know better after you view the passenger list. The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the Library & Archives of Canada [LAC], in Ottawa. The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival. You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL]. You can find the details for this procedure at this LAC Genealogy Research URL http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html You are also able to ILL free of charge, from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LAC will allow your Library to borrow up to six microfilms on your behalf, per request.

My apologies for the off-topic posting but Sue enjoyed the story as much as I did and allowed me to share it with the list. It was not uncommon for people to marry below the legal age of 21 without the necessary parental permission. My 2g-grandmother did it; she married by banns at age 17, and signed the certificate as of full age :-) In this case the parents were apparently very opposed to the marriage and set the law in action. I wonder why the wife of the parish clerk, who apparently accepted the application for banns, didn't ask about parental permission when the bride was said to be only 20? The marriage is shown on FreeBMD with the bride listed as Bloomer Fry! I don't know if it was dissolved; I didn't find the couple in a quick search of the 1881 census. I did find Elizabeth Fry on the 1861 census; listed as 9, so she would have been 19 in 1871 rather than 17 as stated in court if that age was correct. I would certainly like to know how the situation ended! The Times (London), September 1, 1871, page 9 At the THAMES Police-court yesterday, SAMUEL MOSS, aged 20 years, was brought up on remand, charged with making a false declaration of his age and the age of Elizabeth Fry, to whom he was married at Stepney parish church on Sunday, the 2d of July last. Mr. F. H. Lewis, barrister, who was instructed by Mr. Lichfield, conducted the prosecution; Mr Louis Lewis defended the prisoner. Since the last examination the counsel for the prosecution has taken out two summonses against the young men who signed the register-book of marriages in false names in Stepney Church, and Mr. Louis Lewis has taken out one summons against Elizabeth Fry, the wife of Samuel Moss, and he contended that she was as much to blame as her husband, and that she signed the name of "Bloomer Fry" in the register book, her real name being Elizabeth Fry. Confirmatory proof was given of the false declaration made by Samuel Moss,who, in giving notice of the publication of bans [sic] to Mrs. Price, the wife of the parish clerk of Stepney, said his own age was 21 and the age of the bride 20. Mr. Philip Fry, pawnbroker, of 2 Crown-street, Soho, the father of the girl said she was only 17 years of age. He was opposed to the marriage and should move the Court of Probate and Divorce to dissolve it. Mr. Paget committed the young man Samuel Moss for trial, and on the application of Mr. Louis Lewis consented to take bail for his appearance at the Sessions, himself in 50l, and two sureties of 25l each. The two young men who were summoned for signing false names in the register-book of marriages were discharged, Mr. Fry consenting to withdraw the summonses against them. The last charge was against Elizabeth Fry, otherwise Moss, who was charged with making a false declaration. She signed the register-book "Bloomer Fry" and her father said she was as often called Bloomer as Elizabeth. Mr. Louis Lewis described her as a very wicked girl, and said the marriage was concocted by her, and that she was no less culpable than her husband. Mr. F. H. Lewis said she had nothing to do with the publication of bans or making a false declaration, and that all she did was sign the register as "Bloomer Fry," by which she was as well known as her real name. The marriage was never consummated, and the girl had been at home with her parents ever since it was solemnized. Mr. Paget took the bail of the girl's father for her appearance at the Sessions to answer the charge. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon, Ted has given you full career details for this ship.
