Hello Paul,
I believe I just read somewhere (either in a genealogy magazine or on the
Ancestry site itself) that Ancestry had just added more immigration
information. I think this is an ongoing process. So, keep checking!

Ancestry.com immigration lists.
Listers,
Can anyone give me some idea of how comprehensive the immigration lists on
Ancestry.com are? I readily located Maria Leeke (normal spelling "Leek")
and her children (David, John, William, Elizabeth and Rachel) on the Lake
Ontario arriving in Boston on 17 December 1891. However, search as I will,
I can find no one who appears to equate to Maria's husband John, who almost
certainly preceded her in 1890 or thereabouts. I have also searched in
vain
for Frank Porter, who may have been a travelling companion of John and whom
he mentions, in a letter dated 7 October 1900, along with a Joe Mallett.
I shall be grateful for any information.
