Hi Denise, You don't mention whether you have already done a "Google" search for that ship. A quick look and I find this page: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~GENHOME/imm10b.htm And several web sites mention a ship, "Charming Betsy," which took on that name around 1800. (Notice that it is also called Charming Betsey.) Betty (near Lowell, MA) Remember to check the archives of all the Lists and Boards for your surnames and place-names. And, please remember to check the on-line auctions for for your surnames and place-names. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise Reynolds" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 6:00 PM Subject: [TSL] 'Charming Betsy' >I am very new to this list and it is likely that my question is quite >basic. > But, I don't know how to find out this information any other way. > > > > My LANG/ LONG relatives arrived in the Colonial US aboard the Charming > Betsy, John Bull, Master, from London.
