From now until November 30
ancestry.com is giving a free time of
looking at immigration records. A cousin wrote me to tell me that he
had found our ancestor's ship manifest including the nine family members
listed. I went straight to the site and found what he had found, so
exciting. Then I tried other names, there is so much on the site
including images of ships, the ships census, and more. The actual ship
census page was not available for my ancestor, but many others were.
Take a look for your ancestors while it is free!
This is an example of what we found on our Collins ancestors who arrived
in September of 1849.

The family was Thomas and Margaret Collins and their children, including
info on a child who had been born at sea. That was totally new
information for us. The other lady Mary Collins and Jane Collins the
later arrival on the ship, Thomas and Margaret named their daughter and
my great grandmother Mary Jane Collins. Could those other two ladies
have been sisters of Thomas? Now I have more clues to research.
Happy hunting and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
