Thank you all for your responses concerning ships' paths in the
mid-1700's.

Much appreciated,

Does anyone have this list? I have reason to think that one passenger,
Philip KILLINGER (possibly listed as KIBLINGER or KUBLINGER)
was aboard, and that he may have been my 6X-Greatgrandfather. I seek,

Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I have just completed indexing 24 passenger lists from the

over the limit.

Ireland to Boston around 1830...perhaps sometime before then....and ended up in St.

Any thoughts from this fine list?

Many ships to Philadelphia came via Rotterdam, England, Philadelphia. Can
anyone relate in more detail the path, or does anyone have a URL that
perhaps posts an image of the usual path?
I have seemingly silly questions to ask, because sometimes they are the very
best questions, and if one doesn't have a clue, one should ask!
Why Rotterdam? Was that some sort of central location for immigrants of
other lands? Was it generally easy for them to reach? And how would
they reach it if - say for instance - t

Mary sent you the address for Password Central where you can learn which
RootsWeb list you are subscribed to, with which email address, but if you
were wondering about where to find the RootsWeb list archives for this
list, the links are at the bottom of this page.
I'm signed up to receive mail from this list, yet I can't find it on
Rootsweb. Where is the link or what is it called so I can find it and other's that I
