Hi Chris!

Gee whiz..........didn't they take the M40 out of London and head
northwest......getting off at the Chester Exit? (giggle giggle!)

Well, who knows....that may not be so far off the truth! Many of the
early wagon ruts later became major roads!!

I did read somewhere that it took nearly 100 wagons to haul them all up
there! That's pretty interesting too! Aren't there any early maps
from that era that might show you their route??



How 'ya been Chris??

Still digging around in the 'old stuff' eh! Me too, although I get
side-tracked now and then.

Nothing new on our mysterious James, however I recently got the film of
the original 1709 Rotterdam emigration lists to see if I could find
Johan Adam's name. VERY difficult to look at....poor writing and some
of those pages had microfilmed almost black. I never found Johan
Adam......but I did find a Johan Ludwig who was probably our early
Ludwig fellow! Somehow it's satisfying to see their names written in an
old document like that.



Well, carry on my friend!

Phyllis

Dear All



In 1709 our forefathers travelled from London to Chester where they took


ship for Dublin. Does anyone know the route they took through England
to

get to Chester???



Chris
