Well, I've got a few ancestors that I'd be curious to see if I could find how they came to the U.S. Naturalization documents might be another way to find out or passenger list CDs. Here are my wife's and my ancestors who made the voyage to the US. For some I know the exact person, for others I haven't established the person, but suspect that the name came from a specific country. Ranges of dates I figure from birth, marriage and death dates and their associated places. - Robert Simms Last updated: February 96 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- date format: exact year or earliest possible date of voyage - last possible date of voyage From Channel Islands (actual departure could be from ENG or FR) to Maryland * Nicholas Toadvine/Tostevin/Taudenvin and Sarah Lowry in the year 1675 From France? * Captain John Tilney transported Julian Mezick from ?? to Accomack Co, VA in the year 1664/5 From Germany * Peter Reisher and possibly wife Susanna - ??
