I appreciate your reply, Lorine. I have definitely heard of the Coletta book, but do not own it. I have read The Source from cover to cover a few years ago, but I don't think their section was strong on Immigration. But I should take another look at it to jog my memory. Thanks again - Have a nice weekend, Kathleen H. ___________________________________________________________________ --- Olive Tree - The problem with the Boston arrivals is there is an 8 1/2 year gap on M277 (which is titled Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston MA 1820-1891) The gap is from a April 1874 to 31 Dec 1882. ___________________________________________________________________ On 1 Jul 2006 at 14:13, Kathleen wrote: Lorine, That is good information to be aware of.
