Today I found the data below at
Ancestry.com. Does anyone know anything
about this Alexander Cassel? Since I am researching an Anna Cassel who
married Simon Siron in July 1734 at Christ Church in Philadelphia, I
need to know if I can rule Alexander out as her father or other close
relative.

This database contains the original lists of German pioneers who arrived
at the port of Philadelphia from the years 1727 to 1808. These lists of
early arrivals in Pennsylvania are significant because in none of the
other ports of the American colonies, through which German settlers
entered, were such lists prepared or preserved. In Philadelphia alone
did the authorities insist on the preparation of careful and detailed
lists of arrivals. About three hundred family associations, tracking
their ancestry to these pioneers, meet annually in Pennsylvania.
