While countries such as Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and USA feature strongly, all continents are covered and you will find passengers on ships sailing to all parts of Asia, the Caribbean, South America and West Africa, even to remotest oceanic islands such as South Georgia Island.<br /><br />These voyages often called en route at additional ports, including those in Europe, and any passengers disembarking at these stops are included. Voyages from all British (English, Welsh and Scottish) ports, and from all Irish ports before partition in 1921 and all Northern Irish ports after partition, are covered in BT27.

Samuel Drayton was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania according to several records. He arrived in Australia on a whaling boat out of Nantucket? Big distance between places?<br />Not being familiar with US research, I am not sure where to look. I have been told that birth records in Philadelphia are pretty much non existent for the early 1800sSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-76766237063565784192013-04-11T21:28:26.827+10:002013-04-11T21:28:26.827+10:00Thank you Maureen.

The suggestion made was if you can't find someone and there are other databases, to always check them all. The reason given was the indexing is done by different people who, obviously, will have their own interpretation of the original record.<br />Another great post, and I'm so happy to be online and commenting :)Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270783758226909749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-76609907689033876382013-04-10T22:20:57.696+10:002013-04-10T22:20:57.696+10:00Oh yes, I have a paternal great-grandmother who se...Oh yes, I have a paternal great-grandmother who seems to have appeared in Pennsylvania out of nowhere. I finally have been able to verify her age and that she came from someplace? in Poland, but beyond that, she is a ghost. What's worse is she seems to have four different last names. I look forward to more of your info.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-53334022851525735512013-04-10T21:23:25.600+10:002013-04-10T21:23:25.600+10:00I am enjoying your A-Z posts so far Sharon and loo...I am enjoying your A-Z posts so far Sharon and look forward to reading the rest of them. You have certainly set yourself a huge goal this month! <br /><br />I was fascinated to see the disposal section of the shipping record filled in with details of pay as most of my ancestors are just noted as having "left on own accord". <br /><br />Records about assisted immigrants who arrived at Port Phillip before 1 July 1851 can be found in both PROV and NSW State Archives.
