We still see Emigration Society tickets for some of the settlers on these three trips. I forgot to mention last month that the 15th trip on August 7th 1832, included ... 30-35 Colonel By & family £6/9/2 Colonel By and family first arrived in 1826, aboard the barque Endeavour. He superintended the building of the canal to connect Kingston on Lake Ontario, up the Rideau to the join the settlement near the Chaudière falls of the Ottawa River. That settlement became known as "Bytown." In 1847 it was incorporated as a Town, and on December 18th 1854, was renamed Ottawa. Ottawa was selected as the Federal Capital of Canada by Queen Victoria in 1857. .... I've been enjoying meeting some of these historic persons as I transcribe these lists. These are the last four German passenger lists to South Australia for 1856. These are great lists, compiled from a vast variety of sources including original arrival lists, newspapers, Biographical index SA 1836-1885, the Brandenburg index, the Graeme Moad index and the Hamburg departure lists, from Ancestry.com. I noticed a Seppelt family on the AUGUST. Not sure if they are related to the famous Seppelt family who arrived on the EMMY in 1850. 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).
