Hi everyone,
I have just completed indexing 24 passenger lists from the
Pennsylvania Baggage Lists of 1809.
These contain the names of passengers who had to pay taxes
on excess baggage. It does not contain the names of
passengers who were exempt because their luggage was not
over the limit.
I decided to index all names, not just passenger names, but
also the names of those shipping luggage or goods, and the
names of those where the goods were being shipped.
More will follow as I have time, or as volunteers are found
to help.
Here is the list of ships I just put online. All sailed to

1809 Jan 5 Brig Lamprey from Kingston Jamaica
1809 Jan 5 Schooner Wanton from Jamaica
1809 Jan. 30 Schooner Swift from Puerto Rico

Most of the ships also have the image of the manifest
online too. I will be putting them all online as I have
time, so if the one you want isn't there, just come back
and
check in a few days.
You can get to the lists several ways - by going directly
to
the Baggage Lists for PA at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/#paships
or by starting at the index to Ships to USA 1805-1810 at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousap14b.shtml
by going to Ships to PA 1800-present at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_pa1800.shtml
This is another project of Olive Tree Genealogy to fill in
the gaps, and one that I hope to carry on to 1820, which is
when full passenger lists began to be archived and are
available to us
Enjoy! All data on Olive Tree is free for everyone to use,
so if you like this new project, please spread the word to
other researchers.
