    3. Hi All, I have a question some of you seasoned genealogists can probably answer for me. I consider myself a rank novice at this genealogy stuff, so I hope you will bear with me. I have the name of a ship and the date it arrived at the Port of Philadelphia. My g-g-g-g-grandfather arrived in the USA on that ship and later settled in Marshall Co., WV. I found his name by looking in the book "Passenger Arrivals at the Port of Philadelphia, 1800-1819". The book lists only his name, the name of the ship, and the date of arrival. How do I find out if the ship had a manifest with more information in it?? The ship was the Olive Branch that sailed from Ireland and arrived in Philadelphia in 1809. Thanks for the help, garry
