Dear List, My gr gr grandmother, Elizabeth (PFRUNDER) ZWEIFEL left Switzerland in the autumn of 1848, according to the State Archives of Canton Glarus. She was a widow, with 3 young boys. So she wouldn't be a burden on the welfare services, the community paid for her emigration to America. Most Swiss people emigrated from Le Havre, France. Unfortunately they have not archived the embarkments list. And it was not necessary to have a passport for an emigration except for business people. Also while en route her youngest child got sick & died & was buried at sea. I have been searching for years to find a passenger ship list for them. Just recently I stumbled on some information about Cholera in New York City. According to the Brooklyn Eagle, 5 Dec. 1848 there was a ship named New York that arrived in New York from Le Havre, France on 1 Dec. 1848 with some 19 cases of Cholera & 6 or 7 having already died. The emigrants were mostly German & Swiss. All the steerage passengers were taken from the ship on board the steamboat “Sampson” to a quarantine station at a Staten Island customs warehouse. Does anyone know of a way that I can fine further information about the ship New York ? Or those who were quarantined in that station. Thank you in advance for reading this, & any suggestions.

Hello Listers Can anyone point me in the right direction to find info on a vessel called 'Balranald' which left Brisbane about the middle of 1932 and arrived on London on 15 Sep that year. The parents of an English cousin's brother-in-law arrived in England on that voyage, having lived in NZ from about late 1922 (married in UK between April and June 1922). The names are John Edward and Mary Elizabeth ARDRON. There's been no suggestion that they lived in Queensland, so I'm wondering if the ship could have been going to England from NZ via Brisbane, or is that totally unlikely? Help gratefully received. Many thanks. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hi listers, I know this is off topic, but when I opened my browser this morning I noticed that sometime during the night, TheShipsList website home page has just passed 3,000,000 unique visitors .... wow ;-} Happy Labour Day to all the northern hemisphere listers Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

Hi Tricia, The Orient Line http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/orient.html OSTERLEY http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsO.html ... arrived at Melbourne on October 5th 1914. She sailed from London for Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, via Suez. There is tons in the newspapers. The OSTERLEY did make more than one voyage to Australia in 1914 to there is plenty of chatter about her arrivals and departures. Trove website ... national Library of Australia http://trove.nla.gov.au/ Some of the Argus images are a bit fuzzy, but the 5th October issue, page 11, mentions "The outward passage of the Osterley was very exciting and details of the journey have already been published in "The Argus"." They don't say which issue, but it would be earlier than the 5th. You might try the WA and SA newspapers too ... they might be clearer. I think the WA paper lists name and the ports where they were disembarking, but surnames only. It would be quite a normal thing for your grandfather to ferry across to England then by rail to London to embark. I still haven't found the London sailing date I just looked at the image using Ancestry.com (incorrectly indexed as Mr. S. Stewart) but it shows him as English with an occupation of Heckler ... I looked that up ... "Heckler or hackler -- combed or carded the coarse flax using a hackle, a toothed instrument-in linen making." Ahh ... I found where you can read the "exciting" story ARRIVAL OF THE OSTERLEY. EXCITING INCIDENT AT SEA. The West Australian (Perth,... Wednesday 30 September 1914, page 8. Article 305 words I won't spoil your fun, but bear in mind WWI had just recently started. The vessel did arrive at Fremantle on September 29th expected to berth at 7.30am then depart eastward at 3pm. the same day, so they could really turn those steamships around ... I still didn't learn the London sailing date!!

Hi Thomas Stewart was my grandfather. I'm not sure how all this works, but I have been trying to find my grandfather's arrival in Australia. It appears he was still in Ireland near the end of August 1914 as he had a work reference from there dated 25th August 1914, bit he was definitely in Melbourne in January 1915. I had a look at the index for unassisted passenger lists for Victoria, Australia and found a Mr. T. Stewart, aged 23 on the ship "Osterley" in October 1914. I am assuming this means that October is when the ship arrived in Melbourne (would that be correct?). The age definitely matches because he would have turned 24 in January 1915. I am wondering how I can find out where this ship originated from, that is, where it would have departed from when leaving for Australia? I don't even know how long it took for a ship to make the journey to Australia. My grandfather was from Whiteabbey - not far from Belfast in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, so I'm wondering if this ship's departure point may have been Belfast or whether, perhaps, it left from Dublin or London or Liverpool or somewhere else? Are there normally any other details in the ship's records that could confirm if this person is my grandfather or not? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tricia

Could S K S please assist me. I am seeking to find particulars of William Harold Thompson, born 1896, a resident of London, who left England in 1913, according to a letter he sent in 1933, bound for Australia. He would have been then 17 yrs. There is a Wm Thompson, aged 18 yrs, arriving in Sydney Aust. on the SS Orsova, (shown as Oisova) on the inward records, which left London on 24.4.1913. Would anyone have access the outward bound records which may show fuller particulars of this person. His parents were Harry and Annie Thompson. Unfortunately state records in New South Wales for that period have been lost/destroyed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Les.

[this for August, a little late ... sue being worn out by a visiting grandson ... :-} ] *new* for TheShipsList website http://www.theshipslist.com/ All the new and updated files and databases have been placed on their own page(s) Find them on the front page in between the big arrows --------------> <--------------- At the bottom of each of these pages I have placed links named " previous month " and " next month " so you are able to navigate back and forth between the monthly *new & updated* pages, as I only keep three months of *new* page links on the Home page. New for August 2010 is . . . o Passengers: o John Molson - 20th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 13th September 1832 o John Molson - 21st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 18th September 1832 o John Molson - 22nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 26th September 1832 o ... o barque Ramillies, from Plymouth to Port Adelaide 11th November 1860 o ship Schah Jehan, from Plymouth to Port Adelaide 1st December 1860 o barque Verulam, from London to Port Adelaide 27th December 1860 Three more JOHN MOLSON steamboat passenger lists for 1832. No Emigration Society tickets for these settlers on these three trips. I do see some more in future lists, eg. October. The settlers who arrive really late in the season must be joining family because there would be no time left in the season to be settled in time for a Canadian or a Northern US winter. In the 20th trip, I think anybody searching for McDonnell's in this time frame will be rather happy ... the 21st trip has Scots too, so we should be able to match them to ships arriving at Quebec after we get the newspapers. These are the rest of the Assisted British passenger lists to South Australia for 1860. The first two have emigrants from a real variety of residences ... quite a few Welsh and some Scots too. The VERULAM is a bit of an oddball for "assisted" with very few passengers and sailing from London. Next time we visit British assisted lists it will be for 1862 as there were none for 1861 ... they aren't missing, there was just no assisted emigration to South Australia for 1861. Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those list members (in other words, on-topic).

This is for those who do not have access to Ancestry. The Canadian Passenger lists 1925-1935 are now online free at the Library and Archives Canada under Microform Digitization http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/index-e.html Do a search for your immigrant ancestor in the index online at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/immigration-1925/index-e.html Once you find an entry in the index, then search the appropriate microfilm number for the page they are on. You will have to match up the vol and page number on the right hand side of the manifest page with the info from the index. Remember, the above mentioned index is for new immigrants to Canada only. The families who travelled overseas to Europe and returned to Canada are not included in the indexed pages. Annette

Dear Sue, Elizabeth, and Mary, Thank you so very much for your interest and your responses to my query for the immigration record of Wilhelm GROSSE. I, too, believe he must have come through Canada. Of course, I do not know if he spent any time in Canada before going to Detroit. I have the U. S. portion of ancestry.com so I cannot search Canada or Germany through ancestry, but I searched the Hamburg Lists, Direct and Indirect when I was at the Family History Library, in SLC. However, as always, I could have missed his name. I tend to think Wilhelm GROSSE came from Bremen or Brandenburg. I will search carefully the Brig Ariel, the Brig Vanguard and the Bark Sultan. If I understand the information, the columns are as follows: Date of Arrival; Ship; Master or Captain; Date of Departure; Place of Departure; Number of Passengers. Thank you again for your interest and your responses, Dorothy -------------------------------------------------- From: <theshipslist-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 12:01 AM To: <theshipslist@rootsweb.com> Subject: THESHIPSLIST Digest, Vol 5, Issue 158 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi Dorothy, Eliz and Wolf are steering you in the right direction ... because of his destination and the time period, I agree that his most likely arrived at the seaport of Quebec [that is, vessels from the sea] and entered the US through the border port of Detroit. The sort of bad news is that Canada did not archive passenger lists before 1865 and the US did not maintain CAN-US border records before 1895 ... however, if you think he / they sailed from Hamburg, then those outbound passenger lists do survive, but they are not yet indexed (before 1877). You need an Ancestry subscription to view them. It can sometimes be a little tedious and sometimes a little hard to read, but rewarding if you find who you are searching. The lists are arranged pretty much in chronological order of the date of sailing, to not only Quebec, but to New York, New Orleans, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney etc. etc. I can maybe help with possible vessel(s) name(s), but more importantly, the sailing dates from Hamburg for those vessels which arrived at Quebec during the last half of month of July 1854. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/ships1854.html There are 3 Hamburg ship arrivals July 21/22 Brig Ariel Penkney 10 May Hamburg 142 pass. July 26 Brig Vanguard Bedlington 31 May Hamburg 138 pass. July 27 Bark Sultan Abbott 12 June Hamburg 236 pass. It is a start anyway and you can see the variation in sailing times for ships which arrived pretty much in the same week. The Hamburg lists do include the former place of residence, which might steer you to other records. Good luck!

BUT the Port of Detroit was an important Canada/US border crossing. It was also important on the Great Lakes shipping industry, many came thru Canada to the US this way.

SorryI cannot help you with any details. For what its worth (FWITW), the 'Port of Detroit' may be a red herring and may not be the actual port of arrival. I suggest that your William arrives in Canada and travelled by train to Windsor, Ontario and the crossed the St. Clair River to Detroit, Michigan. Hopefully someone on the list can point you to mor einformation on arrivals in Eastern Canada.
