About this product
Product Information
They Came in Ships No doubt your ancestors came to America from somewhere--England, Spain, Germany, China, Africa. Can you imagine how they felt and what they left behind? Do you want to know more about them? Do you know where to begin? Author and genealogist John P. Colletta helps you navigate through the numerous records, ship passenger lists and indexes, naturalization and immigration records, and genealogy websites, to find your ancestors who came in ships to the New World. The author shares dozens of specific and helpful hints, warnings, and suggestions based on his twenty years of experience researching ship passenger lists and lecturing on them at the National Archives. Learn how to determine your ancestor's most likely port of departure and arrival, whether your ancestor was a stowaway or a member of the ship's crew, how to obtain a picture of your ancestor's vessel--and much more. Begin the journey to discover your ancestors today!

From Library Journal Irvine, a teacher in British Columbia, has teamed up with one of the leading genealogy publishers to give us a fine handbook for English genealogy research. Irvine focuses on how to use the many unpublished resources available in North America at the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City, many FHL branch libraries, and FH Centers located in local Latter Day Saints churches and other larger libraries. In addition, Irvine outlines research in English repositories. Her nuts-and-bolts approach to relatively accessible material sets this book apart from other handbooks. Essential for the institutional as well as the home market. Colletta's work, revised since it was first published in 1989, provides a helpful discussion of biographical and genealogical information and other migration details that may be found in passenger lists. Four information-filled chapters provide help on acquiring the information needed to search for passenger lists. The annotated bibliography is excellent, though the book still lacks an index. Researchers in the ship passenger list and immigration field should read this book, along with Michael H. Tepper's American Passenger Arrival Records (Genealogical Pubs., 1988). Essential. - Judith P. Reid, Lib. of Congress Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. , If you are, as I was, baffled by the maze of microfilm and sources involved in trying to track down your ancestors' ships lists, you need this book!! I read this book cover to cover twice, then tackled the library, and finally accomplished something! I recommend it VERY highly.
